The UN Security Council passes a Gaza ceasefire resolution

The United Nations Security Council passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza "for the month of Ramadan respected by all parties leading to a permanent sustainable ceasefire." The resolution also calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages and to allow more humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The US abstained during the vote rather than use its veto power. The rest of the members voted in favour. This vote comes six months into Israel’s war on Gaza and four previous failed attempts by the UN Security Council to demand a ceasefire.

Shortly after the vote, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cancelled meetings that his senior advisers were supposed to have with the Biden administration later this week.

[Yas-lynnPerez]

Shame on her, Biden and United States Politicians

[SamuelSR-ldhf]

The US representative didn’t even have the guts to make eye contact with anyone. Shame

[ARMYERS]

I'm disappointed in my country. America has no moral standing in anything and really never did. Alhamdulilah I became Muslim and gained a better family.

If there was no veto, this would have been done by now!

[kindcrone]

Of course she was instructed to abstain!

[melanielynne]

As an American, I raise my hand in favor. She doesn't speak for me.

[frozencanuck]

Israel will ignore this. They have said as much. So how will the UN enforce this?

[Hopeful]

It took so many lives, so many beautiful flower like children, brave men and ladies, houses, 5+ months

[saydullousmonkhodjaev]

The US is synonymous to the word disgrace.

[zfzsqtm]

I'm from America and I feel so ashamed of her and Biden

[mohamedseridi]

The israelies will not be happy of the american's abstention.

[azlanrahmat]

UN should be reform with NO nation has veto power.

[liliabenjamin]

This woman is there to do their dirty work

[historian]

After everything her people went through… 🤦‍♂️ Absolute disgrace of a thing.

[glorrrr]

From this we can judge that America has abused its veto rights for its own interests. We are not stupid people, America should be expelled from this world organization. Whether there is America or not in this organization, I don't think it has any influence on world survival. In fact, suffering after suffering continues to occur in many countries around the world due to the actions of Uncle Sam's country. I can't imagine their life in the grave..

[American-BadAss]

Funny thing is, Israel is going to cry because America didn't vote against

[Ihsan.shorts]

God willing this will stop the genocide

[mujahidkittur]
