United Nations: The UN Security Council on Monday approved its first resolution endorsing a ceasefire plan aimed at ending the eight-month war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The US-sponsored resolution welcomes a ceasefire proposal announced by President Joe Biden that the United States says Israel has accepted. It calls on the militant Palestinian group Hamas, which initially said it viewed the proposal "positively,” to accept the three-phase plan.
It urges Israel and Hamas "to fully implement its terms without delay and without condition.”
The resolution - which was approved overwhelmingly with 14 of the 15 Security Council members voting in favor and Russia abstaining - also calls on Israel and Hamas "to fully implement its terms without delay and without condition.”
US deputy ambassador Robert Wood told reporters earlier on Monday that the United States wanted all 15 Security Council members to support what he described as "the best, most realistic opportunity to bring at least a temporary halt to this war.”
