Hamas welcomed the UN General Assembly resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and demanded its immediate implementation, including allowing fuel and aid into the territory. In a statement, Hamas said it supports the UNGA resolution passed overwhelmingly on Friday, though without mentioning the militant group. The rival Palestinian Authority also welcomed the resolution amid Israel's intensifying campaign. The US and most Western nations did not back the resolution due to its omission of Hamas. Hamas said the ceasefire must take effect right away and allow the entry of vital supplies for Gaza's civilian population as fighting continues.
