UN Adopts U.S. Draft Resolution, Urges Hamas To Accept Cease-Fire Deal.

The United Nations Security Council on Monday adopted a U.S. draft resolution and pressed Hamas to accept the latest cease-fire and hostage release proposed deal.

The new plan would call for a cease-fire, the freeing of a number of hostages, and allowing more humanitarian aid into Gaza.

President Joe Biden backed the proposal in late May, announcing Israel had degraded Hamas’ capabilities and it was “time for this war to end” and the “day after to begin.”
