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.

I find it incomprehensible that anyone could justify the holding of innocent hostages.

Agreed, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, including Children, have been taken hostage and tortured by Israels Military Courts

Indeed. israel should release the 3000 hostages of which more than 140 children which they are torturing in their concentration camps.

Indeed they should. Which is why the resolution includes demanding the release of hostages held by Hamas and Israel.

The urging of an “immediate” cease-fire was a shift from a draft Security Council resolution that the United States circulated last month, which had called for a temporary cease-fire “as soon as practicable.”

It's calling for a temporary ceasefire, similar to the temporary ceasefires Israel has called for. The US has veto'd the last three calling for a permanent ceasefire and release of hostages, similar to how Israel has rejected every permanent ceasefire and hostage release deal Hamas has called for for months.

Israel continues to prioritize the extended bombing and famine in Gaza over getting the hostages released.
