The US has vetoed a resolution at the UN demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza after proposing its own draft urging a temporary ceasefire, reported from the BBC.

Washington said the Algerian-proposed resolution would "jeopardise" talks to end the war.

But the move has been condemned, with US allies expressing regret the original ceasefire motion was blocked by the White House.

The Palestinian representative to the UN, Riyad Mansour, said the US veto was "absolutely reckless and dangerous."
