'US should not be vetoing a UN resolution': Senator Bernie Sanders

US Senator Bernie Sanders, in a tweet, spoke out against the Biden administration's decision to veto the UN resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. 

""At a time when Palestinians in Gaza are facing horrific conditions, the U.S. should not be vetoing a UN resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire and the release of all hostages," Sanders wrote.

"The children in Gaza need food, water, and medical supplies. We must do everything possible to make that happen NOW." 

The US vetoed the resolution on Friday. It had 13 of the 15-member council's support, with the UK abstaining.
