The resolution calls for a cessation of hostilities in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone, the release of all hostages, the protection of civilians and humanitarian organizations, and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the sector. 120 countries voted for the resolution submitted by Jordan. 14 countries voted against, including the United States, Israel, the Czech Republic and Croatia. Ukraine and 44 other countries abstained from voting. Times of Israel writes about this.
The document made no mention of the terrorist group Hamas. Canada proposed adding condemnation of the militants to the resolution. Most members supported this proposal, but it was not adopted due to lack of votes.
Israel decided to reject the UN General Assembly resolution. Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said the IDF plans to destroy Hamas the same way the world destroyed the Nazis.
The adopted UN resolution has no legal basis and is completely symbolic.
Let us remind you that on the evening of October 27, Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip became more frequent. Following the offensive activity of recent days, the IDF ground forces have expanded their ground activities. Media reported the heaviest shelling of Gaza since the escalation began.
