At a United Nations Security Council meeting, Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-led ceasefire resolution in regard to the Israel-Hamas war. Russian Ambassador to the U.N. Vasily Nebenzya criticized the U.S. for blocking previous ceasefire resolutions, and Chinese Ambassador Zhang Jun said the text was too ambiguous for ending hostilities. U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield criticized Russia's and China's veto as "cynical" and "petty," saying they did not support it because it was the U.S. who sponsored it, and that they had still not condemned Hamas for its Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Algeria also voted against the resolution, though had no veto power due its status as a non-permanent member of the council. Finally, Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan expressed disappointment that the resolution failed, which he said was due to "purely political reasons."
