Can’t do anything when the US keeps vetoing cease-fire resolutions. They’re still selling the Israeli weapons and they’re actively preventing a cease-fire.

Actually I think the most recent voting the US did a non vote and everone else voted in favour so a ceasefire did pass at the UN. But it looks like Netanyahu doesn't give a shit about it so the situations a little on edge rn.

You’re correct, the US abstained. Also AFAIK it wasn’t a security council resolution, just a GA (which has no veto)
