UN General Assembly adopts resolution on the Middle East demanding a humanitarian ceasefire, the protection of civilians, the immediate, unconditional release of all hostages and humanitarian access. pic.twitter.com/0szWbQQJVb
This is the UN General Assembly so this cannot be vetoed by anyone and has passed with a 2/3 majority. Apparently Israel has to stop fighting right now, and Hamas has to release all hostages right now.

In most cases I agree with the right to abstain, but for fricks sake, your job in the UN is to make decisions like this! Abstaining shouldn't be allowed!

Abstaining is its own vote, it basically means 'I have an opinion that would piss off my allies'
