From what I remember , US claimed those UN resolutions didn’t include what they considered to be a complete hostage exchange. So they presented their own resolution including that. Headlines seem to leave that part out.
EDIT: I’m not placing an opinion on anything here. I’m just making a comment about how Biden has publicly reiterated the importance of including full hostage exchanges into those resolutions.
US decided to present their own resolution after exclusive talks with Israel. So who knows what Israel is willing to compromise on or not. It seems Israel has been difficult to work with if you read his statements.
I’m not even following this very closely. There are an incredible amount of articles out there. I encourage everyone to read them and avoid headline browsing. Come to your own conclusions.
On Friday, President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House that he’s had “extensive conversations” with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the last several days where he relayed his position “that there has to be a temporary ceasefire” to secure the safe release of hostages still held by Hamas.
The US draft warns of the effects of an Israeli ground offensive into Rafah, saying it would “result in further harm to civilians and their further displacement including potentially into neighboring countries, which would have serious implications for regional peace and security.”
The U.S. has vetoed or abstained from voting on previous resolutions on Gaza, while Russia and China have vetoed a U.S. proposal.
Where's that resolution and who voted for or against it?
Article says Russia and China have voted against the US proposal. Feel free to research more on it for the details you’re looking for.
What were the differences?
I believe they wanted to stress the importance of avoiding the next ground invasion along with both sides releasing hostages. Feel free to read more on it. I’m just a person who read an article.
So I just looked it up and their proposal is for a temporary ceasefire and the release of all hostages, which accomplishes less than nothing. It also lacks teeth from what I've understood.
It’s a terrible situation I think we all want to see ended immediately. Both sides have said the war will not be over until the other side is completely destroyed. I can’t imagine negotiations are easy.
