The United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution calling for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza and the release of all hostages taken by Hamas for the first time since the war began.
The United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution demanding an"immediate ceasefire" in Gaza and the release of all hostages taken by Hamas in October, prompting Israel to call off a special delegation’s visit to Washington DC.
White House spokesperson John Kirby told a press conference on Monday the news was “disappointing”.“To allow us to have a fulsome conversation with them about viable alternatives to them going in on the ground in Rafah.” The move to not block Monday’s resolution marks what some consider to be a deeper divide between the US and Israel over its campaign against the terror group.
The United Kingdom backed in the ceasefire call and a spokesperson for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said “far too many” Palestinians had lost their lives and a “humanitarian catastrophe” remains a clear risk.The United States has abandoned its policy in the UN today. Just a few days ago, it supported a Security Council resolution that linked a call for a ceasefire to the release of hostages.âA nation is being murdered. A nation is being displaced. For decades now.
