Does the US run the risk of complicity in war crimes in Gaza?
Rights groups criticise the US after it vetoes UN Security plan for an immediate ceasefire.

Washington’s move has been condemned around the globe.
Jordan reflected the view of many critics, by calling the veto a licence for Israel to carry on with a massacre.
