    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    This latest resolution is non-binding, but it carries significant political weight and reflects evolving views on the war around the world.

    The U.S.'s position on this pledge comes after American representatives blocked an earlier resolution at the United Nations Security Council.

    Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said the U.S. acknowledges that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire, but that it was Hamas that broke an earlier deal that allowed for a pause in fighting.

    “Look, there is no shortage of rhetoric here in New York, but it’s the diplomacy the United States is engaging in on the ground that made that week-long pause possible,” she said.

    Thomas-Greenfield tried, and failed, to get the General Assembly to alter the resolution to denounce Hamas and their actions on Oct. 7.

    In response to that attack, Israel launched a military campaign that has killed nearly 18,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the territory’s health officials.
