The United Nations Security Council has given its approval for a temporary humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. Reports from international sources indicate that Malta put forth the resolution, which received votes from 12 countries. Notably, the USA, UK, and Russia, as permanent members, did not take part in the voting process.
This resolution not only emphasizes the temporary ceasefire but also urges the prompt release of civilians being held captive by entities like Hamas. The UN Secretary General has been tasked with overseeing the situation and providing updates on its execution. Furthermore, the Security Council’s resolution has called for strict adherence to international laws by all involved parties.
