Lebanon-Hezbollah ceasefire, US vetoes UN resolution, humanitarian aid challenges in Gaza

E1 • Nov 20, 2024 • 9 mins

Michelle discusses the Lebanon-Hezbollah ceasefire, the US veto of a UN resolution, and a Senate vote on arms sales. Challenges in Gaza, including humanitarian aid and aid convoy protection, are covered, along with post-war difficulties in the region.

Key Points

  • Lebanon and Hezbollah have agreed to a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire with Israel, though tensions remain high following recent Israeli airstrikes in Beirut.
  • The United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, citing the absence of provisions for the release of hostages taken by Hamas.
  • Senator Bernie Sanders is leading a Senate effort to block a $20 billion arms package to Israel, criticizing the U.S. for its complicity in the ongoing violence in Gaza.
