🌍 The UN Security Council has passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza after months of deadlock—and the U.S. chose not to veto it. With over 32,000 lives lost, the move has sparked hope… but is Washington’s abstention a real shift or just political maneuvering?
🔍 For months, the U.S. blocked similar resolutions, aligning with Israel’s stance on self-defense. Now, as global outrage grows over Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, pressure is mounting on Biden. Viral images of wounded children and protests at home are forcing tough choices.
🗣️ 'The Council is finally shouldering its responsibility,' said Algeria’s UN ambassador, while Slovenia’s envoy called the resolution 'desperately needed.' But critics ask: Is this enough to stop the bloodshed?
💡 Analysts say the abstention reflects Biden’s balancing act: supporting Israel while addressing voter concerns ahead of elections. Still, no U.S. policy U-turn—just a tactical pause? The world watches as Gaza’s fate hangs in the balance.
