The UN Security Council has finally approved a resolution for a ceasefire in the occupied Palestinian territory after over five months of conflict between Israel and Hamas. Previous ceasefire attempts were vetoed by the US, but this time, Washington abstained, possibly due to international backlash and domestic criticism. The ceasefire offers a respite from the suffering in Gaza, allowing for aid to reach those in need. However, long-term solutions are needed, and Israel should be held accountable for the loss of innocent lives. The focus now turns to whether Israel will adhere to the resolution or continue its campaign in Gaza, with the days ahead critical for the entire region.
