The United Nations General Assembly has voted in favour of a non-binding resolution demanding an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza.

153 nations voted in favour, 10 voted against, and 23 countries abstained from the vote.

"Non binding resolution, demanding immediate ceasefire".
Meaningless contradiction from an irrelevant, bureaucratic gravy train.

Iran's appointment to chair the 2023 UN Human Rights Council Social Forum tells you everything you need to know about the UN.

The UN, will now send a heavy staunch worded Email to Bibi, which will go straight to the spam box.

All hail the mighty UN, they penned a strongly worded letter.

[mrdarbab]

Yay. The war is over then? Not. non binding means symbolic. symbolic moves don't stop wars. Read a history text.

Emergency Special Sessions of the United Nations General Assembly are rare. No such session has ever been convened with respect to the Chinese occupation of Tibet, the Indonesian occupation of East Timor, the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, the slaughters in Rwanda, the disappearances in Zaire or the horrors of Bosnia. In fact, during the last 15 years they have been called only to condemn Israel.

The resolution should demand return of the hostages now.

[vivrowe]

He's reading it from a newspaper!

[Belly-uw]

Meanwhile, Israel keeps chasing Hamas.

UN General Assembly what? No body give a shit about them. Red cross at least is a taxi driver during hostage swap.
