Ceasefire resolution supported by 120 UN members, as 14 vote against

Jordan's resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian truce was supported by 120 members of the UN General Assembly. 

Fourteen members voted against the resolution, including Israel, the US, Hungary, Austria, Croatia, and Fiji. 

Forty-five abstained, including the UK, Australia, Canada, Ukraine, Tunisia, Japan, India and Germany.

The non-binding resolution called for an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce”, and demands all parties comply with international humanitarian law and “continuous, sufficient and unhindered” provision of essential supplies and services into the Gaza Strip. 

A Canadian amendment that called for the resolution to condemn Hamas and "the taking of hostages" was not carried. It received 85 votes in favour, 55 against, with 23 abstentions - failing to receive the two-thirds majority required.
