TL;DR Summary

The United States found itself increasingly isolated as 153 out of 193 member states at the UN General Assembly voted in favor of an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. Only 10 countries, including the US, Israel, and Austria, voted against the resolution, while 23, including the UK and Germany, abstained. The vote highlighted a growing consensus among nations for an end to Israel's bombardment of Gaza, which has resulted in over 18,000 Palestinian deaths. The US had previously vetoed a similar resolution at the UN Security Council, further emphasizing its isolation. The Biden administration's unwavering support for Israel has left it exposed internationally, with President Biden warned that he is losing international support for the war on Hamas.
