UN urges Gaza truce, backs Palestine agency

China Daily  

Palestinian children maneuver a shopping cart loaded with water containers past rubble and debris in Gaza City on Wednesday. OMAR AL-QATTAA / AFP The international community has thrown its support behind the United Nations Palestine refugees agency following the adoption of two resolutions by the UN General Assembly that demanded Israel reverse its stance against the agency and reiterated the urgent need for a cease-fire in Gaza. The first resolution, titled "Demand for cease-fire in Gaza", was approved with 158 votes in favor, nine against — including Israel and the United States — and 13 abstentions. "The Assembly also reiterated its commitment to the vision of a two-state solution, with Gaza part of the Palestinian State, and where two democratic states, Palestine and Israel, live side by side in peace," the UN said. Indonesia's Foreign Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to the Palestinian cause by proposing the "Demand for cease-fire in Gaza" resolution during Wednesday's General Assembly session.
