US EditionUnited Nations overwhelmingly demands immediate Gaza ceasefire over US, Israel opposition
- On June 12, 2025, the UN General Assembly at its New York headquarters overwhelmingly adopted a resolution demanding an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
- The vote followed the United States vetoing a similar Security Council draft last week, with Israel and the U.S. opposing the non-binding General Assembly resolution.
- The resolution also demands releasing hostages held by Hamas, returning Palestinian prisoners detained by Israel, lifting the blockade, and ending Israeli military operations in Gaza.
- The resolution passed 149-12 with 19 abstentions among the 193-member General Assembly, while Israel’s ambassador Danny Danon called it a “farce” and a “blood libel.”
- Although non-binding, the resolution increases global pressure on Israel amid a worsening humanitarian crisis affecting 2 million Palestinians, while aid access remains severely restricted.
