US cruelly insensitive to worsening Gaza situation

With 153 votes in favor, 10 against, and 23 abstentions, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza.

Despite a General Assembly vote only carrying moral weight, as UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said, the messages they send are "very important" since they reflect world opinion.

And as CNN said, it is a rebuke to the United States which was the only country to veto a cease-fire resolution in the 15-member UN Security Council last week. All the other UNSC members approved the resolution apart from the United Kingdom, which abstained.
