Russia and China veto US proposal for UN intervention in Israel-Hamas conflict

The U.S.-drafted U.N. Security Council resolution addressing the conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants Hamas in the Gaza Strip was vetoed by Russia and China. The resolution aimed to alleviate the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza by calling for pauses in the violence to allow aid access. The United Arab Emirates also voted against the resolution, while 10 members voted in favor, and two abstained.
