UN Security Council passes Gaza cease-fire resolution AS US ABSTAINS
[NY Post] Biden stabbing Israel for Mooslim votes in Michigan and MinnesotaThe United Nations Security Council approved a resolution Monday calling for an "immediate cease-fire" in Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The resolution passed the Security Council 14-0, with the US abstaining and declining to exercise its veto power. The measure calls for a pause in the fighting to last through the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends April 9, as well as the unconditional release of hostages taken in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had demanded the US veto the cease-fire resolution, threatening to cancel plans to send a delegation to Washington to discuss plans for a ground offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
