MO: Hamas praises UN resolution on Gaza ceasefire – Hamas praised the UN Security Council's adoption of a resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The motion passed thanks to the abstention of the United States, provoking a harsh reaction from Israel which canceled a delegation's visit to Washington.
Netanyahu, 'the US is taking a step back from previous positions' – The US vote “is a clear step backwards from the US's constant positions since the beginning of the war”. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said this about the US position at the UN headquarters today. “This withdrawal – he added – affects the war effort and to free our hostages because it offers Hamas hope that international pressure will allow it to obtain a ceasefire without freeing our hostages”.
