The United Nations today expressed its regret over Israeli statements regarding its decision to establish an urgent humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip, according to what UN spokesman Stephane Dujarque confirmed in a press conference today.

The Security Council adopts a resolution by a majority of 12 votes
The United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution by a majority of 12 votes to zero, with three members abstaining from voting: the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia. The resolution called for an urgent and extended humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip.
Israel rejected the UN resolution
But Israel rejected the UN resolution, and considered it “detached from reality,” according to what Dujarric said, adding: “I think it is good for the Security Council to find a way to move together in the direction of stopping the violence in this conflict... The fighting continues... and of course However, more efforts must be made.”
