The UN Security Council voted on a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, with the US abstaining and allowing the resolution to pass. This led to tensions between the US and Israel, resulting in Israel’s Prime Minister canceling a planned trip to the US by his top advisers. The resolution, proposed by non-permanent council members, demands a ceasefire for Ramadan, release of hostages, and increased aid flow into Gaza. UN Secretary-General emphasized the importance of implementing the resolution. Talks of a potential prisoner-hostage deal between Israel and Hamas are ongoing, with disagreements on various ceasefire conditions.
