The US has vetoed a resolution at the UN 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.
In its own resolution the US warned Israel not to invade the city of Rafah.
The US has previously avoided the word “ceasefire” during UN votes on the war, but President Joe Biden has recently made similar comments.
