UN Security Council OKs Resolution for Humanitarian Pauses in Gaza

The U.N. Security Council has approved a resolution calling for “urgent and extended humanitarian pauses and corridors throughout the Gaza Strip” after four failed attempts to respond to the Israel-Hamas war.

The vote was 12-0 with the United States, United Kingdom and Russia abstaining. The final draft watered down language from a “demand” to a “call” for humanitarian pauses. It also watered down a demand for “the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups.”

And the resolution makes no mention of a cease-fire or Hamas’ surprise Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.
