Moment UN security council endorses hostages-for-ceasefire Gaza deal

The UN security council has adopted a resolution calling for Hamas to agree to a three-phase hostages-for-ceasefire proposal outlined by Joe Biden, in a rare show of consensus by major powers.

Fourteen council members voted for the resolution and only Russia abstained on the US-drafted resolution, which calls for an initial exchange of elderly, sick or female hostages for Palestinian detainees held by Israel in the course of an initial six-week ceasefire. The ceasefire would evolve into a permanent end to hostilities and the release of all hostages through intensive discussions between the two parties. A third phase would involve the launch of a major reconstruction effort

"Yet another UN Security Council resolution that seems to have no effect, just like before. Hey Blinken, if you want Hamas to accept the deal, put it on paper instead of just talking, for Christ's sake."

Actual title: US doesn’t use its veto because it’s an American draft resolution, approved by AIPAC

And round and round in circles it still goes. Pathetic!

"Israel will not engage in meaningless and endless negotiations which can be exploited by Hamas as a means to stall for time."
–Israel's representative to the UN, Reut Shapir Ben-Naftaly, speaks at a United Nations Security Council meeting focused on ending the conflict on Monday, June 10.

The senior diplomat said the war would not end until all hostages were returned and Hamas' capabilities were 'dismantled, '
accusing the Palestinian militant group of using "endless negotiations… as a means to stall for time."

UN is a waste organisation with not using any UN Troops of ther country😢

[Yxi-zcne]

Get this sick organisation out of people's schools!

[anivibes]

What about the palestinian hostages? The 5000 children that are held in prison?

[martinwyke]

So they are endoring taking of hostages 🤦‍♂

[vivicohen]

Honourable abstention on grounds of absence of firm guarantees.

[Joiously]

what the heck? the UN has no authority to make force a cease fire deal on Israel, or hamas... hamas has not lived up to a cease fire deal ever... that is why this war started... are you people cognizant.... and what are you going to do when hamas or Israel does not comply?

[truestcause]

WHATS STOPPING ISRAEL AFTER THE HOSTAGE RELEASE?

[shankarbalakrishnan]

The un needs to relook at the laws and take more action

[johnfrancis]

Hamas will never release hostages, especially women.

[wongkokcheong]

Cease fire will allow both side to rearm for future conflict. Ceasefire given US excuse of not allowing Palestine independence. US must have full control of ME. Palestine independence will cease US dominance in ME, and that's what US government cannot accept.

[pppp]

So glad there is real agreement on this. I hope it manifests into something useful 🙏

[azisarabi]

At least Russia abstained, not like the US before.

[georgeroybooth]

As if either HAMAS or ISRAEL will take any notice of this ? Toothless

[williamcarter]

Did you comment twice and make it look like you roasted someone else????😂😂😂😂.

[MendeMaria-ejbf]

It's the General Assembly by the United Nations and not the UNSC. Right?

[chicagomick]

Who is that silver-haired fox sitting next to him? She’s a real cutie !!
