US-Authored Anti-Hamas Resolution Thwarted at UN, but Israel Hails Growing Support as ‚Historic Achievement‘ | Algemeiner.com
A US-authored resolution condemning the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas won a plurality of votes in the UN General Assembly on Thursday, but a procedural move initiated by its opponents thwarted its passage.
While 87 countries backed the motion, compared to 57 that rejected it (with 33 abstentions), it did not meet a 2/3 majority requirement that was put in place — with the support of a group of Arab nations — just before the vote.
