US calls for ceasefire, but blocks UN Security Council efforts

President Biden's calls for de-escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict got a lot louder today - he said he wanted to see movement towards peace today. Yet, ex UN-rapporteur John Dugard points out that the US has so far held up the UN Security Council's efforts to issue a statement on de-escalation, and that the US doesn't speak directly to Hamas.  "The United States continues to operate its embassy from Jerusalem, which is contrary to international law. I think it's become very clear that the US is not an honest broker," Mr Dugard said. Max Towle speaks to US correspondent Kate Fisher.
