It's clear, the USA wants to keep this war going:

The UN Security Council is now expected to vote on Wednesday on a resolution to spur more humanitarian aid into Gaza, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

The vote was originally scheduled for Monday but was then delayed until Tuesday evening to allow more time for negotiations. Diplomats had been working intensely behind closed doors to finalize a resolution drafted by the United Arab Emirates on a call for a suspension of hostilities in Gaza to allow for the delivery of critically needed humanitarian aid.

Delaying the vote to Wednesday suggests agreement hasn’t yet been reached on language that could gain a “yes” vote from the United States, or at least an abstention, which would allow the measure to pass.

“We’re still working through the modalities of the resolution,” US National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said Tuesday. “It’s important for us that the rest of the world understand what’s at stake here and what Hamas did on the 7th of October and how Israel has a right to defend itself against those threats.”

The US has vetoed previous measures at the UN Security Council and voted against a call for a ceasefire in the larger UN General Assembly.

I guess Kirby wants to test some more weapons
