Finally, the Palestinian-Israeli war came to light. On May 31, US President Joe Biden proposed a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza. That resolution was passed by the UN Security Council on Monday.
This information was given in a report of the British media BBC.
According to the report, on May 31, President Biden proposed a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza. The Security Council voted on the resolution on Monday.
Out of 15 members, 14 voted in favor of the proposal. Only Russia abstained from voting.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield called on Israel and Hamas to immediately accept the ceasefire proposal. She also termed this ceasefire proposal as a new opportunity.
This proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza was passed at a time when more than 37,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel's indiscriminate attacks. Half of the houses and structures in the besieged valley have been destroyed, the United Nations said.
Palestinian independence organization Hamas has welcomed the ceasefire resolution passed by the Security Council.
In a statement, the organization expressed its willingness to work with mediators on how to implement the terms of the ceasefire. However, Israel did not immediately comment on the ceasefire resolution passed by the Security Council. Although it has been said by the United States, President Biden announced the offer made by Israel.
Earlier, on March 25, the UN Security Council passed a resolution calling for a cease-fire in Gaza. 14 members voted in favor of the proposal. The United States abstained from voting. However, Israel did not accept the proposal.
