United States has vetoed a resolution at the United Nations demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza after proposing its own draft urging a temporary ceasefire.
Washington said the Algerian-proposed resolution would jeopardise talks to end the war.
The US has previously avoided the word ceasefire during UN votes on the war, but President Joe Biden has recently made similar comments.
Thirteen countries on the fifteen member body backed Algeria’s resolution, while the UK abstained.
