U.N. Security Council passes Gaza cease-fire proposal drafted by the U.S.

The United Nations Security Council passed a U.S.-drafted cease-fire deal aimed at halting eight months of bloody fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The draft of the resolution, which President Joe Biden approved, was finalized Sunday after almost a week of negotiations among members of the 15-member council.

For it to pass, the resolution needed at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the countries that have the power to send any cease-fire proposal back to the drawing board — the U.S., France, Britain, China or Russia.

China made no move to block it and Russia abstained.

The United States is going to pay for this. God will not bless those who harm Israel. In fact He will do quite the opposite.

Israel didn't accept it. This is the same thing that Biden announced just before Shabbat to do a back stab of Israel. Netanyahu broke Shabbat to say it wasn't what they agreed to, it was all on the side of the US.

When Israel got those hostages back (still lots more left in Gaza!!! both living and dead) that took over the news cycle.

The US is using the UN here to pressure Israel. And hoping they can still force Israel into the deal.

agree.

Rough and bumpy conditions up ahead! Whatever happens to America, happens to Canada because Trudeau hates Israel and will join Biden in the backstabbing spree!
