UN security council passes Gaza ceasefire resolution with no US veto

The UN security council voted to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza for the first time since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, after the US dropped a threat to veto, in a significant break with the Israeli government.

The US abstained in a vote for a resolution that 'demands an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan'. It also demanded the release of hostages by Hamas, but did not make the ceasefire dependent on hostage release, a linkage the US had previously insisted on. All other 14 members of the security council voted in favour of the resolution.

"with no US veto" you know that the reputation of the US is already ruined if this needs to be specified.

[howardtyler]

Now we’ll see how powerless the U.N. actually is!!

[ghetooneffendi]

She is still talking about Hamas having to accept when it is Netanyahu who did not accept. 😮

[wwutama]

The US is not clapping their hands on this resolution. Insincere and pathetic…

[kathydasilva]

The USA has done so much damage... just selling ammunitions in this conflict.

[roseysmith]

How many of the UN resolution, has Israel Obeyed since the UN was established?

[patcharlesworth]

she still is talking about Hamas without any mention of the 75 years of brutal occupation before Hamas resistance ... shame US

[hasinagannie]

Why she's not talking about the Palestinians that are in the Israeli prisons

[SixSkyDiver]

Amazing, spectacular. Though, condemning Hamas would also require condemning the IDF, Ms. Hypocrite.

Proof that without US intervening to back up Israel, humanitarian can run smoothly. US should learn on how other countries taking highly the value of humanity . Just because Israel is committing atrocities and it is your ally, doesn't mean you should let Israel does what ever it wants, while if other countries do the same, US will be the first who jump out from its seat to condem, labelling, intervening and so on.

AMERICAN POLITICIANS GETTING CONCERNED ABOUT IN COMING WAR CRIME COMPLICITY CHARGES ?

[fahvm]

Using Kamas as excuse for allowing genocide??

[md-slio]

not sure u can have an 'immediate' ceasefire after almost 5 months of the conflict

[AprendiedoconAlex]

THE WORLD WANTS TO LOOK ACTIONS NOT WORDS.

[islamicthinkingtv]

What happens if Israel doesn’t cease fire?

[madbun]

lambasts other members, abstains single handedly and then takes moral high ground. Zero self awareness lol.

[phrous]

So now what will happen?. Who is to enforce this resolution?

[iffet]

Very clever guardian. Now put the proper headline. Resolution passed with US ABSTAINING.

Yall do know that nothing is going to change right? It’s like a stranger telling two other strangers to stop fighting.
