Tension between the US and Israel boil as UN ceasefire vote passes and Netanyahu vows to push ahead with Rafah offensive

• The UN passed a vote calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, with the US abstaining for the first time.
• Netanyahu cancelled meetings with Biden officials in response, further damaging US-Israel relations.
• Negotiations around Rafah are crumbling, with Netanyahu saying troops will invade without US help.

The divide between the US and Israel is deepening after the United Nations passed a ceasefire vote, a first for the international body after multiple failed attempts.
