Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized the Biden administration for vetoing a UN resolution calling for a cease-fire in Gaza, calling it “shameful.”
The U.S. was the only “no” vote, with the UK abstaining altogether. The U.S. deputy ambassador to the UN expressed concerns that the resolution would leave Hamas in place and lead to further violence.
“The Biden [administration] can no longer reconcile their professed concern for Palestinians and human rights while also single-handedly vetoing the UN’s call for ceasefire and sidestepping the entire US Congress to unconditionally back the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.

“Despite a rushed process and lack of consultation by the resolution’s authors, the United States engaged in good faith on the resolution. Nearly all of our recommendations were ignored,” a U.S. official stated.
“It would simply leave Hamas in place, able to regroup and repeat what it did on Oct. 7. Colleagues, a senior Hamas official recently stated the group intends to repeat the vile acts of Oct. 7, quote, again and again and again, unquote. And yet this resolution essentially says Israel should just tolerate this, that it should allow this terror to go unchecked,” U.S. deputy ambassador to the U.N. Robert Wood said.
“Although the United States strongly supports a durable peace in which both Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and security, we do not support this resolution’s call for an unsustainable cease-fire that will only plant the seeds for the next war.”
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to significant casualties, creating a divide within U.S. Democrats regarding their stance on the issue.
