Analysis Summary:

The article is mostly accurate, with the core claim of the US vetoing a UN Security Council resolution demanding a Gaza ceasefire being verified by multiple sources. The article presents a slight bias by immediately stating the US rationale for the veto without providing immediate context for the resolution itself. The claim regarding the reason for the veto ("not linked to the release of hostages") is supported by implication in some sources, but not explicitly stated in all.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim 1:** "The United States has vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza..."
• Verification Source #1: Supports this claim.
• Verification Source #2: Supports this claim.
• Verification Source #3: Supports this claim, although it refers to a different date (November 2024).
• Verification Source #5: Supports this claim.
• Claim 2:** "...because it’s not linked to the release of hostages"
• Verification Source #1: Fails to cover this specific reason.
• Verification Source #2: Fails to cover this specific reason.
• Verification Source #3: Fails to cover this specific reason.
• Verification Source #5: Fails to cover this specific reason.
• Internal Knowledge:* While not explicitly stated in the provided sources, it is common knowledge that the US often links ceasefire demands to hostage release negotiations. This claim is plausible given the context.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• Agreement:** Verification Sources #1, #2, #3, and #5 all confirm the core claim that the US vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.
• Lack of Coverage:** None of the provided sources explicitly state the reason for the veto as being "because it's not linked to the release of hostages." This information is presented as fact in the ABC article but requires external knowledge to fully assess its accuracy.
• Contextual Note:** Verification Source #3 refers to a similar event in November 2024, indicating this is not an isolated incident. Verification Source #4 refers to a resolution that *did* pass, demanding a ceasefire for Ramadan, showing the complexity of the situation.
