UN General Assembly adopts resolution calling for 'immediate and unconditional' ceasefire in Gaza
11 December 2024 23:07 GMT
The UN General Assembly on Wednesday overwhelmingly adopted a resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, in a symbolic rebuke to the US and Israel.
The resolution was adopted by a vote of 158 to 9, with 13 abstentions.
The resolution urges "an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire," and "the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages" .
The US vetoed a resolution with similiar language at a Security Council last month.
Israel UN envoy Danny Danon slammed the text ahead of the vote: "The resolutions before the assembly today are beyond logic. (...) The vote today is not a vote for compassion. It is a vote for complicity."
