The U.S. has called a cease-fire crucial for
protecting civilians and expanding aid distribution
as over 2 million Palestinians face the threat of famine.
NBC reports that the failed resolution contained
no direct link to the release of hostages taken by
Hamas during the group's October 7 attack on Israel.
The resolution did reportedly support diplomatic
efforts "to secure such a cease-fire in connection
with the release of all remaining hostages.".
According to Israel, 130 hostages
remain in Gaza, while another
34 have already died in captivity.
Three previous attempts at
a resolution were vetoed by the U.S.
in October, December and February.
The failed fourth resolution came after the U.N.'s
Integrated Food Security Phase Classification
initiative warned that "famine is imminent" in Gaza. .
The initiative also warned that escalation
of the war could push half of Gaza's
entire population to the edge of starvation.
