The United States vetoed a U.N. resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in the war in Gaza because it is not linked to an immediate release of hostages.

      Honestly don’t understand how hostages weren’t a required part of that resolution.

      Edited to include the “required” component. There is nothing requiring a hostage release with the ceasefire, to clarify my initial statement.

        I do. Hamas won’t give them up, so a ceasefire including them is irrelevant. They’d much rather blame the israe for noncompliance
