To discuss the shocking United States veto of a U.N. Security Council resolution requesting a Gaza ceasefire, we're joined by Shibley Telhami, who says President Biden's refusal to engage with popular calls for ceasefire is a shocking personal decision" that will have negative consequences for U.S. foreign policy and American standing" around the world. Members of the Israeli government clearly want more than self-defense," adds Telhami, and have created human rights needs in Gaza so massive that you need a ceasefire to deal with that." Telhami is professor of peace and development at the University of Maryland.
