United Nations Security Council has backed a proposal outlined by President Joe Biden for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip and urged the Palestinian Militants to accept the deal aimed at ending the eight-month-long war.
Hamas welcomed the adoption of the U.S.-drafted resolution and said in a statement, that it is ready to cooperate with mediators over implementing the principles of the plan.
Russia abstained from the U.N. Vote, while the remaining 14 Security Council members voted in favor of the resolution supporting a three-phase ceasefire plan laid out by President Biden on 31st May.
The resolution which welcomes the new ceasefire proposal, states that Israel has accepted it, and calls on Hamas to agree to it, urging both parties to fully implement its terms without delay and any condition.
