The United Nations Security Council has failed to adopt two draft resolutions on the Israel-Hamas conflict. The US-led resolution, which called for humanitarian pauses in fighting to allow aid access to Gaza, was vetoed by Russia and China. The rival resolution by Moscow, which proposed a humanitarian ceasefire and unhindered aid into Gaza, also failed to gain enough votes. This is the fourth time the Security Council has been unable to adopt a resolution on the ongoing conflict. The US ambassador expressed disappointment and called on Council members not to support Russia's "cynical and irresponsible behavior.
