The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution that called for an immediate humanitarian truce between Israel and Hamas, as well as demanded access for aid to the besieged Gaza Strip and protection of civilians. The resolution, drafted by Arab states, was not legally binding but carried political significance.
The resolution received overwhelming support in the General Assembly, with 120 member states voting in favor, 45 abstaining, and 14, including Israel and the United States, voting against it. This move by the General Assembly came after the UN Security Council failed to take action on the matter four times in the preceding two weeks.
The resolution emphasized the importance of preventing further destabilization and escalation of violence in the region and called on all parties to exercise restraint. It also urged Israel to rescind its order for civilians in Gaza to move to the southern part of the enclave and rejected any attempts at the forced transfer of the Palestinian civilian population. The General Assembly also called for the immediate and unconditional release of all civilians held captive.
While the initial draft of the resolution called for an immediate ceasefire, the adopted text called for an immediate, durable, and sustained humanitarian truce leading to a cessation of hostilities.
Israel had rejected calls for a ceasefire, citing concerns that such a move would allow Hamas to rearm. On the other hand, the Palestinian envoy argued for a ceasefire, criticizing what he saw as a double standard in international responses to the conflict.
