"UN General Assembly Overwhelmingly Demands Gaza Ceasefire"

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has overwhelmingly voted in favor of a non-binding resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, with 153 countries voting in favor, 23 abstaining, and 10 countries, including the US and Israel, voting against. The resolution serves as an indicator of global opinion and comes as international pressure mounts on Israel to end its months-long assault on Gaza, where thousands of Palestinians have been killed and the majority of the population displaced. The US has faced criticism for its support of Israel's military campaign, but President Biden recently sharpened his criticism of Israel, stating that it was losing international support due to "indiscriminate bombing" in Gaza.
