The United States rejected the resolution that Israel brought to the UN to stop the war with Hamas

• The war between Israel and Hamas has been going on since October 7. The attack killed 1,147 people in Israel. Also 247 people from Israel were taken as hostages to Gaza. More than 17,000 people were killed in Gaza in the war by Israel. And lakhs of people have lost their homes and are living in camps. Children, women and the elderly were the worst hit. They were deprived of even the essentials.
• Meanwhile, the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas announced a 4-day ceasefire. In these 4 days Hamas has approved the release of hostages. Similarly, the Israeli side also agreed to the terms of the Hamas organization. 
• The 4-day ceasefire was extended by two more days as both sides observed it respectively. Accordingly, 105 people were released by Hamas during the 6-day ceasefire. Of these, 81 were Israelis, 23 were from Thailand and one was from the Philippines. 
• At the same time, another 137 people are being held hostage by Hamas. Meanwhile, the temporary ceasefire ended at 7 am on December 1.
• Countries including Qatar and the United States held talks with both sides to extend the ceasefire. But because no agreement was reached in the negotiations, the Hamas group did not properly follow the terms of the ceasefire, and because of the attack by the Hamas group on the border, Israel started the war again, the Israeli army said. As a result, Israel is attacking Gaza again.
• While the war between Israel and Hamal has been going on for 3 months, the world is urging to end it. Meanwhile, a resolution to end the war was brought in the UN Assembly yesterday. 13 countries voted in favor of the resolution. England did not participate in this resolution. However, the US used its veto power to reject this resolution.
