U.N. Security Council Delays Vote on Watered-Down Gaza Resolution Again Amid U.S. Veto Threat

HeadlineDec 22, 2023

Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi has warned the failure of the U.N. Security Council to pass a resolution on Gaza will mean “dangerous double standards,” as the U.S. delayed a vote Thursday for the fourth day in a row. The U.S. delegation has indicated it would back a new resolution with watered-down language, which is set for a vote today. An earlier Security Council resolution vetoed by the U.S. called for a “ceasefire”; subsequent texts called for a “suspension of hostilities,” and ultimately to “urgent steps” to allow safe and unhindered delivery of aid to Gaza’s civilians.
