The United Nations Security Council has adopted a US resolution that backs the latest Israeli hostage-ceasefire proposal and calls on Hamas to accept the offer.
There are 14 votes in favor of the resolution, no votes against and one abstention by Russia.
Israel came out against the resolution last week, taking issue with some of the amendments that were made to the text.
The US addressed some of those concerns, dropping an explicit opposition to the establishment of Israeli security buffer zones in Gaza.
