The United Nations Security Council failed to adopt a draft resolution led by Brazil that called for humanitarian pauses in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The US vetoed the resolution, stating that it did not mention Israel's right to self-defense. While 12 Council members voted in favor of the resolution, Russia and Britain abstained. This is the second time in two days that the Council failed to adopt a resolution on the situation in the Middle East. The US ambassador to the UN expressed disappointment and emphasized the need to protect civilian lives.
