The United Nations Security Council failed to pass a resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza due to vetoes from Russia and China. The resolution proposed by the United States also witnessed abstention from Guyana. It aimed for a six-week ceasefire to protect civilians and facilitate humanitarian aid delivery. The US showed a hardened stance towards Israel compared to earlier in the conflict. The resolution avoided explicitly demanding Israel’s immediate cessation of operations in Gaza.
It stressed the necessity of an immediate and sustained ceasefire, with ties to hostage negotiations led by Qatar, backed by the US and Egypt.
