A Bold Abstain: U.S. Shifts Stance on Gaza Ceasefire

The U.S. abstained on a vote for a ceasefire in Gaza at the United Nations. The U.S. has vetoed ceasefires for months, allowing Israel to continue its bombing Gaza since October 7. This is the first time that the U.S. allowed the ceasefire vote to pass. This is a step in the direction of peace.
