American Jewish Committee Statement on Today’s UNSC Resolution
It is outrageous that the resolution adopted today by the United Nations Security Council – by a vote of 14-0, with the United States abstaining – demands “an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan” without unequivocally linking that action to its further demand for “the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages,” and, unforgivably, fails to condemn Hamas’ brutal terrorism.
