UN Security Council passes resolution calling for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza, as US shifts position by abstaining from vote
Oh, i think i see what you mean? Yes, the fact that it does count as an actual ceasefire is a good thing.
Sorry if I’m not understanding, english isn’t my first language.
Zhang Jun, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of China to the UN, thanked the E-10 Council members for their efforts on the draft.
Noting that his country’s negative vote on the US-led draft resolution last Friday, he stated that a comparison of the two drafts showed the differences:
“The current draft is unequivocal and correct in its direction, demanding an immediate ceasefire, while the previous one was evasive and ambiguous,” he said, adding that the present resolution also reflected the general expectations of the international community and enjoyed the collective support of Arab nations.
Ah i see what you mean, thanks for the clarification. Yes, i agree with you there on why they voted the way they did.
