After more than five months of war, the UN Security Council on Monday adopted a resolution calling for an “immediate ceasefire” in the Gaza war, a call repeatedly blocked by the United States, which abstained this time, increasing pressure on its Israeli ally.

The resolution was adopted to the applause of 14 of the 15 members of the UN Security Council, while the US abstained.

The UN Security Council “demands” in this resolution “an immediate ceasefire in the month of Ramadan” that began two weeks ago”, which “leads to a lasting ceasefire” and “demands the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages”.
