UN security council passes Gaza ceasefire resolution with no US veto video | World news

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
