Russia and China took a decisive stance by vetoing a resolution drafted by the United States.

This resolution is aimed at addressing the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The contentious vote occurred on October 25, 2023, at the U.N. headquarters in New York.

The U.S.-drafted resolution sought to tackle the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, emphasising the need for temporary ceasefires to ensure the safe delivery of humanitarian aid to the affected population.

However, Russia and China, two permanent members of the U.N. Security Council with veto power, expressed their opposition to the resolution. This move, in essence, blocked the resolution’s passage.

Notably, the United Arab Emirates also voted against the resolution, aligning itself with Russia and China in their veto. On the other side of the aisle, ten member states of the Security Council voted in favour of the resolution, while two abstained from casting their votes.

This development underscores the continuing challenges and complexities surrounding the Israel-Gaza conflict. The conflict, which has persisted for years, has led to numerous humanitarian concerns, with the civilian population in Gaza bearing the brunt of the hostilities. The U.S. resolution aimed to address these concerns by advocating for temporary ceasefires to facilitate the delivery of essential aid to those in need.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
