Overwhelming support was seen today as the U-N General Assembly voted to demand a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
Arab and Islamic nations called for an emergency session of the 193-member General Assembly to vote on a resolution after the U-S vetoed a resolution in the Security Council demanding a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza on Friday.
Today's vote shows a strong demonstration of global support for ending the Israel-Hamas war . While 10 member countries including America and Israel voted against it. There, 23 members distanced themselves from it and 7 other countries remained absent.
Last week, the United States N. He vetoed the resolution in the Security Council, while he did not have this power in the General Assembly. The step of Canada and India is very important this time because both of them had distanced themselves from the vote during the last resolution. Both have now made it clear that the civilian deaths in Gaza are non-negotiable.
