The annual Group of 20 gathering, hosted by Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira, saw the United States facing repeated criticism for its stance against an immediate cease-fire in Gaza. Diplomats from Australia, South Africa, and Argentina voiced concerns over the devastating Israeli military campaign in Gaza, with South Africa accusing Israel of genocide. The U.S.'s isolation on the issue was evident as it vetoed a UN resolution for the third time, drawing ire from attendees. The meeting highlighted growing tensions over the conflict in Gaza, with calls for humanitarian aid and brokered deals gaining importance amid the escalating crisis.
