War on the road of no return, UN presents plan for humanitarian ceasefire, Israel rejects it

The war between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza appears to be entering a dead end.

In the last few hours, the UN Security Council adopted a draft/resolution calling for the immediate establishment of a ceasefire for humanitarian purposes, with longer timetables and corridors throughout Gaza, for a specified number of days to allowed civilians to access aid.

The draft received 12 votes in favor, there were none against, while the United States, Great Britain and Russia abstained.

But the project met with immediate reaction from Israel, which decided to reject it.

The Israeli Foreign Minister, in a reaction to the main media in the country, said that at the moment there is no room for making these concessions to Hamas as long as hundreds of people continue to be hostages in their hands.

According to Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, the resolution is disconnected from reality and "it is unfortunate that the Council continues to ignore and refuse to condemn or even mention the massacre committed by Hamas".

On the other hand, the Hamas-led authorities confirm that since the fighting began in October, more than 11,500 people have been killed, most of them women and children.
