Description
The UN Security Council has passed a new Gaza ceasefire resolution. The United States abstained from the vote while all other members voted in favor of it.
This comes after the security council failed to pass a resolution put forth by the US on Friday. This new resolution, which was presented by some of the non-permanent members of the council, demands an immediate ceasefire, leading to a permanent, sustainable ceasefire.
It also demands "the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, and that all barriers are lifted to provided the humanitarian assistance needed in Gaza."
The vote results caused rare cheers from the UN chamber.
