Fourteen countries vote for the resolution, which welcomes a Gaza ceasefire proposal, as Russia abstains.
The UN Security Council has approved a resolution endorsing a ceasefire plan aimed at ending the eight-month Israeli assault on Gaza.
The vote on the US-sponsored resolution on Monday was 14-0, with Russia abstaining.
The resolution welcomes a ceasefire proposal announced by President Joe Biden that the US says Israel has accepted, although some Israeli officials have promised to continue the war until the elimination of Hamas, the Palestinian group that governs Gaza.
It calls on 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”.
