U.N. resolution on Gaza cease-fire: Which countries voted for and against it

The U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza. The nonbinding resolution, introduced by Egypt, also called for the unconditional release of hostages and for the besieged enclave to have access to aid.

With 153 votes in favor, the resolution passed with more votes than a similar measure in late October, which drew a nod from 121 countries. The United States and Israel were among the 10 countries that voted against it on Tuesday, while 23 abstained.
