Edit: It looks like the argument here is that the US is not calling for an instant ceasefire, but instead saying that one is very important to have. China and Russia say it should be immediate. The US also tied it to hostage talks.

Another resolution is in the works to call for an immediate ceasefire, but the US is expected to veto it because they believe it could endanger hostage talks.

    Very much yes. The US’s proposal was actually worse than nothing. There’s a reason Hamas has been demanding a permanent ceasefire before they turn over any more hostages. There’s also a reason Algeria voted no.
