US called for a truce at UN, but Israel intensified bombings. U.N. passed a non-binding resolution, with US voting against it. The resolution calls for an immediate truce, release of all civilians, and the uninhibited flow of humanitarian supplies into Gaza. Even with overwhelming support, it’s unlikely the resolution will mean an end to the war. However, the Palestinian ambassador said Israel should be held accountable because the world has spoken. The General Assembly prevailed and sent the appropriate message, not only to the Palestinian people, but also to everyone, enough is enough. This war has to stop. After three weeks of conflict, the UN has spoken, a clear signal that the majority of the world wants the bombardment of Gaza to end.
