Hamas hails UN resolution calling for ceasefire, demands its immediate implementation

Hamas welcomes the passage of a UN General Assembly resolution urging a ceasefire in Gaza and calls for its immediate implementation, including the entry of fuel and relief materials for civilians in the Strip, the terror group says in a statement.

The UNGA resolution passed overwhelmingly, though it did not include any mention of Hamas, leading the US and the vast majority of Western nations to avoid giving their support.

The rival Palestinian Authority’s foreign ministry also welcomes the resolution, saying that as Israel’s campaign “reaches a new peak of brutality,” there is “a solid international position rejecting Israel’s unhinged aggression.”
