In a significant move towards peace, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has unanimously passed a resolution urging an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian factions in Gaza. Proposed by ten elected members of the council, the resolution garnered support from all fourteen members, marking a crucial step towards resolving the conflict.

The resolution, met with applause in the council chamber following the vote, emphasizes the necessity for a truce during the ongoing Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which set to conclude in two weeks. Additionally, it calls for the release of all hostages, particularly those taken during the incident in southern Israel on October 7.

This resolution underscores the urgent need for cessation of hostilities and immediate ceasefire in Gaza. It sends a strong message to all parties involved to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy in resolving the longstanding conflict in Gaza.
