Netanyahu cancels Washington visit after US abstains on Gaza ceasefire vote at UN
NEW YORK, 25 March. - (ANA) - The United Nations Security Council on Monday passed a resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza for the month of Ramadan, breaking a five-month impasse during which the United States vetoed several calls for ending the war, while the humanitarian toll of Israel’s military offensive climbed higher.
The resolution passed with 14 votes in favour. The United States abstained, allowing the resolution to pass. The chamber broke into applause after the vote. - (ANA) -
