No US veto – UN calls for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza for the first time

Date:

For the first time, the UN Security Council in New York on Monday adopted a resolution calling for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza in Israel’s war against the terrorist organization Hamas. The US abstained from voting.

Unlike previous votes, this time the US did not use its opportunity to exercise a veto in the United Nations’ most powerful body as a permanent member of the Security Council.

More pressure on conflicting parties
Israel’s most important ally thus made possible the adoption of the resolution, which is binding under international law. Nearly six months after the start of the Gaza war, international pressure on the conflict parties Israel and Hamas continues to increase.

In recent weeks and months, US President Joe Biden’s administration has become increasingly impatient with the Israeli war cabinet under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The British ‘Guardian’ analyzed that the abstention highlights the rift that has arisen between the allies.
