Results for UN vote for humanitarian ceasefire

Tonga's Prime Minister said, “We are not trying to impress anyone. This was a sovereign decision made by the Government of Tonga...,” when he was asked why Tonga had opposed the UN General Assembly resolution that called for an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce” between Israeli forces and Hamas in Gaza. Tonga was one of only 14 countries, including the US and Israel, to reject the resolution, which urged the cessation of hostilities.
