The United States abstained from voting on a resolution adopted by the UN Security Council, yesterday, Monday. The resolution called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all detainees, and the acceleration of the entry of more aid into the Strip.
Experts attribute Washington's abstention from voting to increased tension between Biden and Netanyahu. The progressive movement in the Democratic Party praised the decision, and considered it a step in the right direction, even if it came late. The extremist and Republican movements supporting Israel consider it a major retreat from President Biden and a blow to Tel Aviv.
