Gaza: India changes tack, votes for ceasefire

The U.N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly on December 12 to demand a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza in a strong demonstration of global support for ending the Israel-Hamas war. The vote also shows the growing isolation of the United States and Israel. The vote in the 193-member world body was 153 in favour, 10 against and 23 abstentions. The support was higher than for an Oct. 27 resolution that called for a “humanitarian truce” leading to a cessation of hostilities, where the vote was 120-14 with 45 abstentions. India was among the 153 members who voted in favour. #India #UNResolution #Ceasefire #GazaConflict #InternationalDiplomacy #GlobalPeace #UnitedNations #SecurityCouncil #IndianForeignPolicy #HumanitarianCrisis #MiddleEastPeace #InternationalRelations #WorldNews #ConflictResolution #GazaCeasefire #GlobalSupport ~PR.152~ED.102~GR.122~HT.96~
