US Abstains From Vote, Allows United Nations To Pass Gaza Ceasefire Resolution For First Time

The United Nations (U.N.) passed a resolution on Monday calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war after the U.S. abstained from the vote.

The U.N. successfully passed the resolution, introduced by 10 member nations and backed by Russia, China and a host of Arab nations, calls for an “immediate and sustained cease-fire” in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza as well as the unconditional release of the remaining hostages in the region. The Biden administration chose not to veto the resolution by abstaining for the first time since the war began, allowing it to pass with unilateral support.

“This resolution must be implemented,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said immediately following the vote on Monday. “Failure would be unforgivable.”

The U.N. has taken up four similar resolutions since the war began on Oct. 7 but failed to pass them each time because of a U.S. veto, according to Axios. The U.S. chose not to veto the resolution on Monday because it includes a provision that demands the release of the hostages, one of the diplomats told Axios.

The U.S. also allowed the resolution to pass because it calls for an “immediate” ceasefire in Gaza rather than a “permanent” one, language that was included in a previous version of the draft. Also included in the passed resolution is a requirement that all international actors abide by international law and “deplores… all acts of terrorism.”



The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Maybe; maybe not.
Looks like the US is trying add even more distance between itself and Israel, since we're only 9 months from voting. Not that it's going to help them with the abysmal numbers they've got and persistence in insulting the electorate.

Israel needs to FINISH what it started and ABSOLUTELY DENY any quarter to Hamas. Finish them off once and for all regardless of what those buffoons in the UN say. :fgr2: And Russia voting for a cease fire in Gaza - WHAT A F*CKING JOKE!! How about YOU FIRST IVAN!! :fgr:

Israel should tell Putin that they will have a cease fire WHEN RUSSIAN HAS A CEASE fire!! AND....that they will pull out of Gaza when Russia pulls out of ALL OF UKRAINE....to include CRIMEA!! Let's see how well that goes down! :rofl:

Wait until the US decides it's time to follow the UN sanctions requirement and cuts off all military supplies to Israel. Then wait until Israel bombs Judas Joe's floating dock when he sends military aid to Gaza via that goat rope after the UN decides Hamas needs military support against the outlaw nation of Israel.

I don't put that out of the realm of possibility with the traitorous morons in charge.

It always seemed weird to me that after perhaps 2,000 years, Britain came-up with the Balfour Declaration, eventually placing a Jewish state on Arab (or whatever the Palestinians are: nomad Turks?) land after WWII.

I feel for the Jews: I really do. Still, I always tend to see both sides in all issues, so I don't see things as simple as Jews good, Islamic bad. "Takes 2 to tango", and all that.

It seems like Israel has more than compensated for (secured revenge) for the atrocities of the Oct 7th attack by (apparently) drug-crazed lunatics. Am I missing something? Do we want further retribution for something?

Me? Not Jewish, not Islamic, not one for bible prophesy. Worried about expanding the war(s).

So should anybody that has eyes to see and ears to hear be surprised by the legions of demoncrats doing their true fathers will?

Most here knew that evil conglomeration that took over that political party back in the 1960’s hates the Jewish people and when having enough power would join the war to eliminate them. There is also to many RINOs that are sold out as well. Men’s systems will always fail.

My family in Israel tells me that every single poll taken in the past week in Israel shows 85% support for the war and completely destroying Hamas. Israelis know Trump is way ahead in the polling and hope he gets back into office. If he does the situation in the Middle East will change 100%. Meanwhile with the US not vetoing the UN resolution this has pissed off both the left and right in Israel. Israelis think Chuckie Shummer is a dick along with that other self hating Jew Blinken. Both have sold their souls to the devil for some power and money.

ISRAEL had that land ever since they came there after their slavery IN EGYPT.

By the time of Jesus Christ, they had already been in that land 2000 years (excepting the 70 years they spent exiled first under Babylonian rule and then under Persian).

Neither England, nor the US, nor Turkey, nor Canada, nor any other nation "gave" that land to the Jews.

GOD declared it to be "HIS" land, and HE repeatedly tells other nations to leave "MY" land alone, and that He made a sovereign decision to give it to the descendants of one Abraham, from the ancient land of Ur (and that goes back nearly ANOTHER thousand years)

Not prophecy--just Biblical facts.

Of course, if you don't consider the Bible a factual book, none of this will mean anything.

But those are the historical facts.

No, I don't consider the bible a factual book, but rather a collection of books gathered around 300-400AD by various Roman Councils. In the time of a previous Pope, early 2000s, I was taught in my CCD instructor training that there were many paths to God (but of course taught Catholicism was best). While not practicing now, being raised Catholic I was taught that the bible is more a teaching instrument than a history book. As I understand it, it is the more recent Protestant sects that consider the bible more factual.

That aside, I was under the impression that the Jews lost Israel with the fall of the 2nd temple. In doing a quick search, it sounds like a case could be made though, that Israel was't completely lost to the Jews until 1517, to the Ottoman Empire, with the Jews being a minority from around 70AD until 1517.

I'm not a history expert. It seems the Jews lost Israel at least 500 years ago, but I am happy to be corrected if someone cares to elucidate. If I am mistaken, I would prefer to learn the truth (be corrected) and avoid incorrect postings in the future.

A noticeable percentage of smart munitions going to Israel ,from the US, have issues.

I would say, the current US government is turning away from Israel.

I would expect national judgement to start today.
And continue until there is a national change.
Slow at first
Things that always worked, will start having problems.
Than more and more.
