The U.N. Security Council approved a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all remaining hostages. The resolution passed 14 to 0, with the U.S. abstaining. Nearly six months into Israel’s war on Gaza, it’s the first time the Security Council successfully passed a ceasefire resolution, after four previous attempts and continuous obstruction by the United States. After the resolution passed, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted the U.S. for “retreating” from its “principled position,” and canceled a planned visit by an Israeli delegation to Washington, D.C. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said a failure to implement the ceasefire “would be unforgivable.” Palestine’s U.N. Ambassador Riyad Mansour spoke after the vote.

Riyad Mansour: “This must be a turning point. This must lead to saving lives on the ground. This must signal the end of this assault of atrocities against our people. A nation is being murdered. A nation is being dispossessed.”
