The United States abstained on the resolution, which also demanded the release of all hostages taken captive during Hamas\u2019 surprise attack in southern Israel. But the measure does not link that demand to the cease-fire during Ramadan, which ends April 9. The vote comes after Russia and China vetoed a US-sponsored resolution Friday that would have supported \u201can immediate and sustained ceasefire\u201d in the Israeli-Hamas conflict.<\/p>\n<p>The United States warned that the resolution approved on Monday could hurt negotiations to halt hostilities by the US, Egypt and Qatar, raising the possibility of another veto, this time by the Americans. The resolution, put forward by the 10 elected council members, is backed by Russia and China and the 22-nation Arab Group at the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>A statement issued Friday night by the Arab Group appealed to all 15 council members \u201cto act with unity and urgency\u201d and vote for the resolution &#8216;to halt the bloodshed, preserve human lives and avert further human suffering and destruction&#8217;.\u201cIt is long past time for a cease-fire,\u201d the Arab Group said. Because Ramadan ends next month, the cease-fire demand would last for just two weeks, though the draft says the pause in fighting should lead \u201cto a permanent sustainable ceasefire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the council Friday that the resolution\u2019s text \u201cfails to support sensitive diplomacy in the region. Worse, it could actually give Hamas an excuse to walk away from the deal on the table&#8217;. \u201cWe should not move forward with any resolution that jeopardizes the ongoing negotiations,\u201d she said, warning that if the diplomacy isn\u2019t supported, &#8216;we may once again find this council deadlocked&#8217;. \u201cI truly hope that that does not come about,\u201d Thomas-Greenfield said.<\/p>\n<p>The United States has vetoed three resolutions demanding a cease-fire in Gaza, the most recent an Arab-backed measure in late February. That resolution was supported by 13 council members with one abstention, reflecting the overwhelming support for a cease-fire. Russia and China vetoed a US-sponsored resolution in late October calling for pauses in the fighting to deliver aid, the protection of civilians and a halt to arming Hamas. They said it did not reflect global calls for a cease-fire.<\/p>\n<p>They again vetoed the US resolution, calling it ambiguous and saying it was not the direct demand to end the fighting that much of the world seeks.<\/p>\n<p>The vote became another showdown involving world powers that are locked in tense disputes elsewhere, with the United States taking criticism for not being tough enough against its ally Israel, even as tensions between the two countries rise. A key issue was the unusual language in the US draft. It said the Security Council &#8216;determines the imperative of an immediate and sustained ceasefire&#8217;. The phrasing was not a straightforward \u201cdemand\u201d or \u201ccall\u201d to halt hostilities.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2024\/03\/25\/un-demands-ceasefire-in-gaza-during-muslim-holy-month-of-ramadan\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/un-demands-ceasefire-in-gaza-during-muslim-holy-month-of-ramadan\/\">UN demands ceasefire in Gaza during Muslim holy month of Ramadan<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,3444,13922,402],"class_list":["post-129231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-gaza","tag-ramadan","tag-un"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129231\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
