The United Nations Security Council on Saturday called for "the full adherence" to a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian terror factions in the Gaza Strip and stressed the immediate need for humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians.
The 15-member council issued a statement, which had to be agreed by consensus, after being unable to speak during the 11-day conflict due to opposition by the United States.
The French mission to the United Nations said it has put on hold its push for a resolution on the issue.
