U.S. Vetoes UN Resolution Backed By Many Nations Demanding Immediate Humanitarian Cease-Fire In Gaza
The United States has vetoed a United Nations resolution backed by almost all other Security Council members demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza.
United Nations officials say there are no safe places in Gaza for Palestinians, with heavy fighting around Khan Younis displacing tens of thousands of people.
"Nowhere is safe in Gaza," wrote U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, repeating his calls for a permanent ceasefire in the region.
The annual summit to tackle global climate change is crawling with people with ties to planet-warming fossil fuels.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Hilda Heine said allegations of backdoor fossil fuel deal-making "undermine the integrity" of the international climate talks.
The world wants more nuclear energy as a means to fight climate change and supply an ever-growing demand for electricity, part of a generational shift in thinking.
A new revelation has rattled climate scientists and environmental activists, but it did not happen in a vacuum.
The U.N.’s annual summit, known as the Conference of the Parties, or COP, begins this week in Dubai.
The U.S. still refused to join other nations in voting for the watered-down version of a ceasefire, which a growing number of people are demanding worldwide.
The restrictions, which also apply to Muslim-majority Kashmir, reflect a shift in India's foreign policy away from its long-held support for Palestinian liberation.
