The measure received 14 votes in favour, with the US the sole member to reject it. However, because the US is a permanent member of the council, it has the ability to veto any resolution brought forward

Unlike several previous resolutions regarding a ceasefire in Gaza, Wednesday’s measure was brought forward by all 10 elected members of the Security Council.

The US has vetoed four previous attempts at calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, on most occasions being the lone vote against the measures.

    Lol, your entire article is about how they only accept a Palestinian state, not an Israeli one

    Here’s the funniest quote:

    But it does not go as far as to fully recognise Israel and says Hamas does not relinquish its goal of “liberating all of Palestine”.

      Why would they recognize Israel before Israel accepts a two-state solution? What did the PA get in return for recognizing Israel?

        A road to a two-state solution through the Oslo Accords. Which Hamas then sabotaged with suicide attacks on civilians.

        What did Hamas get in return for trying to conquer Israel?

          Why does Israel not recognize Palestine yet? Why do you lie about Israelis led by Netanyahu murdering Rabin?

            Looks like you’re the one who needs to resort to lies. It’s not too late to change
