UN General Assembly set to vote on nonbinding resolution calling for a ‘humanitarian truce’ in Gaza

The UN General Assembly is set to vote on a nonbinding resolution calling for a “humanitarian truce” in Gaza to end the hostilities between Israel and Hamas. The resolution, drafted by the Arab group, is being sought after the Security Council failed to agree on a resolution after four attempts. Unlike the Security Council, the General Assembly does not have vetoes, making the resolution likely to be adopted. The resolution also demands compliance with international humanitarian and human rights law.
