What Does UNSC Vote for Immediate Cease-Fire in Gaza Mean? - March 27, 2024 Africa News Tonight - VOA Africa

    • News

The U.N. Security Council voted for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, and for the first time, the U.S. abstained, allowing the vote to pass14-0. It also demanded the release of all hostages taken captive by Hamas. The resolution drew an immediate protest from Israel which canceled a planned high-level visit to Washington. Jim Zogby, head the Arab-American Institute, discussed the developments with VOA's Mohamed Elshinnawi.
