UN is set to vote on a resolution demanding Gaza ceasefire, hostage release and aid access
- On June 12, 2025, the United Nations General Assembly voted on a draft resolution demanding an immediate, unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, hostage release, and full aid access.
- The vote followed years of conflict that began with Hamas militants killing around 1,200 people and capturing roughly 250 hostages in an October 7, 2023 attack in southern Israel.
- Following Hamas's attack on Israel in October 2023, Israel launched a military operation that Gaza health officials report has resulted in the deaths of over 54,000 Palestinians, predominantly civilians. Meanwhile, Israel asserts it has eliminated more than 20,000 fighters but has not released supporting proof.
- A draft measure introduced by Spain, referring to a March 28 ruling from the UN’s highest court ordering Israel to increase access through crossings, condemns the use of starvation tactics and calls on Israel to fulfill its humanitarian responsibilities as an occupying power.
- While not legally binding and opposed by Israel and the United States, which vetoed a similar Security Council effort last week, the resolution passed with likely overwhelming support and precedes a UN conference to revive the two-state solution.
