#Gaza / UN security council passes [a draft] resolution calling for immediate ceasefire, as US abstains
The UN Security Council voted today (Monday) in favor of a draft resolution including a "demand" for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire during the month of Ramadan, which ends in about two weeks, and for the "immediate and unconditional release" of the hostages. 14 countries supported the draft resolution, the United States abstained, since it does not include condemnation of #Hamas - but did not use its veto.
