"Security Council Rejects Russian Resolution Ignoring Hamas in Gaza War"

The UN Security Council rejected a Russian resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, as the motion did not single out Hamas for its attacks. The US and UK criticized Russia for failing to condemn Hamas and giving cover to a terrorist group. A second text proposed by Brazil, which condemns Hamas, is expected to have broader support. Israel's envoy called for Hamas to be designated as a terror organization, while the Palestinian ambassador urged the council to act to restrain Israeli bombardment. The Gaza Strip faces a humanitarian crisis as supplies of water and power have been cut off.
