US vetoes UN resolution for Gaza to be recognized as state
The United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution to recognize Gaza as a state.
The 15-member council voted Thursday on a draft of a resolution that would recommend that the 193-member U.N. General Assembly recognize Gaza as a state and admit Gaza to the U.N. Twelve nations voted in favor of the resolution, two nations abstained, and one, the United States, voted against.
