The U.N. General Assembly approved a nonbinding resolution Friday calling for a “humanitarian truce” in Gaza leading to a cessation of hostilities between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas war.
The 193-member world body adopted the resolution after rejecting a Canadian amendment backed by the United States.
The United Arab Emirates Ambassador Lana Nusseibeh, the Arab representative on the Security Council, expressed delight at the result.
“120 votes in this kind of geopolitical environment is a very, very high signal of the support for international law. Just a thought.
