U.S. Vetoes UN Resolution Condemning Israel's Gaza Offensive
[VOA News] Peter Heinlein - The U.S. has vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that would have demanded a halt to Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip. Ten members voted in favor of the Arab-backed resolution, four abstained, and U.S. Ambassador John Bolton cast the lone "no" vote, calling the measure unbalanced. Israel's UN Ambassador Dan Gillerman praised the U.S. for its "bold stand."
