The United States and Russia both failed to pass resolutions on the Gaza conflict at the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday.
Russia and China vetoed the US draft resolution on the Middle East, while Russia's draft resolution did not get enough votes to be adopted. It failed to require the nine votes needed for consideration.
The result for the US resolution was announced as "10 votes in favor, 3 against veto, and 2 abstentions."
US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said she was “deeply disappointed” by the veto.
