UN General Assembly ADOPTS resolution on “protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations” on the ongoing Gaza crisis

FOR: 120
AGAINST: 14
ABSTAIN: 45

The resolution calls for an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce” between Israeli forces and Hamas militants in Gaza.

According to the U.N. it also demands a “continuous, sufficient and unhindered” provision of life-saving supplies to the people stuck inside Gaza.

The resolution also condemns all violence against Palestinian and Israeli civilians.


Notably, the resolution does not specifically condemn the Oct. 7 surprise attack by Hamas, or mention Hamas at all. There were several amendments that asked for Israel and Hamas to be named in the resolution that failed to get enough support.


It calls for the “immediate and unconditional release” of all civilians being held captive. Hamas took more than 200 people hostage during its Oct. 7 attack.

The resolution is the first formal U.N. response to the Hamas attacks on Israel and Israel’s counteroffensive . Several other measures by the U.N. Security Council have failed to pass or have been vetoed by either the U.S., Russia or China

Israel is rejecting the call for a ceasefire in Gaza approved by the United Nations General Assembly earlier Friday, with the country's foreign minister calling it "despicable" in a post on social media.

“We reject outright the UN General Assembly despicable call for a ceasefire,” Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Israel intends to eliminate Hamas just as the world dealt with the Nazis and ISIS.”

Only US, Isreal and 12 other countries, mostly tiny countries; Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Fiji, Guatemala, Hungary, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay and Tonga in voted against the adoption of the resolution and they lost woefully!

This is a testament to the seriously diminished power and influence of the United States on global politics on this Palestinian-Israel war.

Even the E.U , Canada and UK didn't vote against the resolution. China, Russia, Jordan, Iran, Pakistan, the Arab League, Turkiye, Ireland, South Africa and Nigeria tried too. It was a momentous event that the world stood together significantly for the Palestinian people.
Sincerely, Humanity won.

Serious consequences against Israel, hahahaha
Did Russia not continue to bomb Ukraine even after a UN resolution,
You go weep tire, go tell isreal ti stop the bombardment

Amayabor1:



Lol. This is not the first time the US has been mostly alone when it comes to issues in the UN. This vote will not change the situation on ground. Gaza will continue to be bombarded until all the terrorists go get their 72 virgins in heaven. Most of these votes in the UN do not translate to reality on ground.

This is the UN vote calling on Russia to stop it's war on Ukraine. 140 countries joined the US to pass a vote in support of the motion. Since this vote, Russia has carried more attacks on Ukraine.

Just to open mouth waaaah!

Humanity won?
Where was humanity for 17 years that Gaza has been under siege?
The hypocrites UN that turned a blind eyes to US actions in this war?....the US is calling for restraints while sending arms and ammunition to Israel and the UN just stood by idly....if not for China and Russia...US would have hoodwinked the UNSC to attack Gaza with a UN force.

Death to every terrorist that want to destroy the state of Israel.

Sincerely, Humanity won. Over 3000 Palestinian children killed yet Hamas keeps fighting and firing rockets into Israel, giving credence to the report that Israel is actually killing mostly civilians and children.

If Isreal,with all its military power and backing of US and UK , has been fighting a small group of Hamas fighters for weeks now yet the death toll of children and civilians in Gaza keep mounting and Hamas Rockets firings into Israel have not stopped, so who is Isreal deceiving? Who is Isreal been killing for the past few weeks of bombing Gaza? Hamas still fired a lot of rockets into Southern Israel few hours ago!

If after this resolution, Isreal continues the bombing, there will be very serious and severe consequences against Israel. I pray it doesn't get to that. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Realguyman1:
And when Israel ceased fire now, tomorrow u will hear again that hamas has done another again killing innocent Israeli civilians. Does it now mean that the life of those innocent Israeli civilians being cut short doesn't matter?

Un should settle this matter once and for all, and if both parties still decide to be hostile against peace and Un suggestions, then Un should leave them both to settle themselves in whatever ways they want.

If a more powerful nation attacks a weaker nation, there is hardly anything the UN can do except votes and condemnation.

FreeStuffsNG:

It's like you are not current. Even US has told Isreal to stop the bombing and US donated $100m for humanitarian supplies for Gaza.

USA opposed the resolution because it lost the vote to get the UNGA adopt its joint draft with Canada to make the UN resolution condemn Hamas and tag it a terrorist organisation. That was humiliating for the US. Remember the UNGA is even holding on US soil o.
US lost big time and China showed them shege.

On your historical claim, please kindly provide proofs of when the UNGA voted against Israel like this and Israel called their bluff and went on bombing for days or weeks after the resolution?smh

It seems you don't know that this resolution is a license for nations to start sanctioning Isreal and giving more support to Hamas.

Isreal is a small country of less than 10m , it's not like Russia or China, Iran, Egypt, Nigeria, SA, Turkiye, Brazil, Saudi Arabia etc with huge population, huge land mass and rich natural resources deposit . Sanctions can actually break and weaken Israel. Isreal needs this vital peace and international goodwill the US failed to get it.

Sillymoderators:

Every life matter both Israeli and Palestine but do you know the number of Palestine killed yearly by Israel that goes in noticed because they are Israel? Once it is the other way round they will label the Palestines terrorist.
The only solution to the problem is to declare the state of Palestine that way both sides will know their boundaries.
