The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, but it did not condemn Hamas for its actions.
The resolution received widespread support, with only a few countries, including Israel and the United States, voting against it.
Israel’s Ambassador to the U.N. criticized the resolution for not mentioning Hamas and emphasized that a ceasefire would only allow Hamas to rebuild and prepare for further attacks. (Trending: LeBron James Shares Gun Advice For Americans)

Israel’s Ambassador to the U.N. Gilad Erdan said, “Not only does it fail to condemn Hamas for its crimes against humanity — it doesn’t mention Hamas at all.”
Erdan said a ceasefire meant “one thing and one thing only — ensuring the survival of Hamas, ensuring the survival of genocidal terrorists committed to the annihilation of Israel and Jews.”
The United Nations has a history of anti-Israel bias, with over half of its 2022 resolutions condemning Israel.
Additionally, concerns have been raised about the UN’s special rapporteur on Palestine for making explicitly antisemitic statements and collaborating with Hamas.
Rep. Chris Smith defended the organization saying, “The United Nations is unquestionably the world’s foremost legitimizer of antisemitism, including in its most virulent and violent forms.”
“Before she was appointed, we informed the Council that Albanese had repeatedly equated Palestinian suffering with the Nazi Holocaust and accused Israel of war crimes, apartheid, and genocide,” said Hillel Neuer, who leads the monitor group U.N. Watch.
“In a 2014 Facebook post, she wrote that America is ‘subjugated by the Jewish lobby’ … Last November, she addressed a Hamas conference where she said, ‘you have a right to resist.’” said the group’s leader.
