The United States has vetoed a draft UN Security Council resolution demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and calling for removing restrictions on aid deliveries to the enclave, Guyanese Ambassador to the United Nations and UN Security Council President Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett said.
"The draft resolution has not been adopted owing to the negative vote of a permanent member of the Council," Rodrigues-Birkett said following the vote.

According to the US Ambassador to the UN, the draft resolution would "undermine diplomatic efforts" to reach a ceasefire.
The other 14 members voted in favor of the resolution introduced by 10 non-permanent members.
