U.S. Vetoes UN Condemnation of Israeli Assault on Gaza

July 13, 2006 |

Hot off the wire:

The United States cast the first U.N. Security Council veto in nearly two years Thursday, blocking an Arab-backed resolution that would have demanded Israel halt its military offensive in the Gaza Strip.

The draft, sponsored by Qatar, accused Israel of a “disproportionate use of force” that endangered Palestinian civilians, and it demanded Israel withdraw its troops from Gaza. (AP)

Surprise, surprise!
