The UN Security Council has unanimously approved a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, marking a significant breakthrough after over five months of conflict. The resolution, backed by 14 member states, calls for a truce during the ongoing Islamic holy month of Ramadan, aiming to establish a lasting and sustainable peace. Notably, the United States, previously an ally of Israel, abstained from vetoing the resolution, facilitating its passage. Despite objections from Russia, the resolution emphasizes the release of hostages captured by Hamas and other militant groups. Algeria, Slovenia, and Switzerland played key roles in drafting the resolution, reflecting a diverse coalition's efforts towards peace in the region.
