The UN Security Council (UNSC) has passed a resolution calling for an "immediate ceasefire" in Gaza, after the US refrained from vetoing the measure in a change from its previous position.
The text also demands the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, BBC reported.
The body had been at an impasse since the war began in October, repeatedly failing to agree on a ceasefire call.
The move by the US signals growing divergence between it and its ally Israel over Israel's offensive in Gaza.
Israel ignited its bloody war machine in the Gaza Strip on October 7 after Hamas carried out a historic operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Nearly six months into the hostilities, the regime has failed to achieve its objectives of “destroying Hamas” and finding Israeli captives despite killing over 32,300 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring nearly 74,700 others, added Press TV.
