Katie Couric Instagram – 🚨 The United Nations Security Council on Monday passed its first resolution calling for a Gaza cease-fire after four failed attempts, per @washingtonpost reporting. The United States abstained, allowing it to pass. The resolution, backed by 14 nations including China and Russia, demands an immediate cease-fire during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and the release of all hostages. Four previous cease-fire resolutions had failed, including one proposed by the United States on Friday. The U.S. abstention is likely to further strain U.S. relations with Israel amid sharp disagreements over Israel’s planned military offensive in Rafah. This is a developing story with updates to come.
