The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) just made history by passing its first resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan. The vote saw 14 members in favor, with the U.S. abstaining—marking a major shift after blocking similar proposals three times before. 🕊️
The resolution aims to halt the ongoing conflict that escalated in October 2023, offering hope for civilians caught in the crossfire. Hamas welcomed the move, urging Israel to comply and calling for a permanent truce and troop withdrawal. 🗣️ Meanwhile, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled a planned delegation to Washington, accusing the U.S. of abandoning a ‘principled position’ by not linking the ceasefire to Hamas releasing hostages. 🚨
This development highlights growing international pressure for peace, but tensions remain high. Will this resolution be a turning point, or just another chapter in the crisis? Let’s break it down:
