The United Nations Security Council adopted a U.S.-drafted resolution on Monday, calling for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Fourteen council members voted in favor, with Russia abstaining, according to ABC News.
Nate Evans, spokesperson for the U.S. mission to the U.N., said the deal aims to pause the fighting, release hostages, and provide humanitarian assistance. "Israel has accepted this proposal and the Security Council has an opportunity to speak with one voice and call on Hamas to do the same," Evans said.
