UN Security Council Endorses Ceasefire Plan to Halt Israel-Hamas Conflict
The UN Security Council has endorsed a US-sponsored ceasefire plan aimed at ending the eight-month conflict between Israel and Hamas. The resolution calls for a three-phase process, including the release of hostages, humanitarian aid, and the reconstruction of Gaza, although its acceptance by both parties remains uncertain.
In a striking move to halt the protracted conflict, the UN Security Council approved a US-sponsored resolution aimed at ending the eight-month war between Israel and Hamas. This marks the first resolution passed by the council endorsing a ceasefire plan.
The plan, supported by President Joe Biden and accepted by Israel, urges Hamas to commit to a three-phase ceasefire proposal. These phases encompass hostages' release, humanitarian aid, and Gaza's reconstruction.
Hamas has responded positively but insists on conditions such as a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. With overwhelming support, the resolution's passage adds diplomatic pressure on both parties to agree to the terms, amid ongoing regional and international mediation efforts.
