UN Security Council Rejects Russian Draft Resolution on Israel-Palestine Conflict

The UN Security Council has rejected a Russian draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine conflict zone, as reported by RIA Novosti.

The document stated that the "UN Security Council calls for an immediate, sustainable, and fully respected humanitarian ceasefire." The resolution did not receive the necessary 9 votes in favor. Five countries voted in favor, four against, and six abstained.

The proposal strongly condemned violence and military operations against civilians, as well as "all acts of terrorism." According to the document, the Council also called for the release of all hostages.

The text included a call for the unhindered provision and distribution of humanitarian aid and the creation of conditions for the evacuation of civilians.
