UNSC fails to adopt resolution on Israel-Palestine conflict after veto by U.S.

The text you provided is about a recent event in the United Nations Security Council regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict. The United States, which is a close ally of Israel and a permanent member of the Security Council, vetoed a resolution proposed by Brazil. The resolution aimed to create humanitarian pauses in the conflict to allow aid access to Gaza. While 12 council members supported the resolution, the United States' veto prevented its adoption. The United States expressed disappointment that the resolution didn't mention Israel's right to self-defense.

This marks the second time in two days that the Security Council failed to adopt a resolution on the Middle East situation. In the earlier vote, Russia proposed a resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, but it did not mention Hamas, the militant group responsible for an attack against Israel. The Brazil-led resolution condemned violence against civilians, called for humanitarian access, and requested the withdrawal of Israeli orders for civilians to relocate in Gaza.
Israel-Palestine conflict
The U.S. Ambassador to the UN emphasized the importance of Israel's right to self-defense and criticized Hamas for causing suffering and destruction. The United Kingdom abstained from voting on the resolution, citing the need for clarity on Israel's right to self-defense and the use of Palestinian civilians as human shields by Hamas.

Human Rights Watch criticized the U.S. for using its veto to prevent the Security Council from acting on the Israel-Palestine conflict and called for urgent action from the General Assembly to protect civilians and prevent further loss of life.
