How countries voted on U.N. Gaza ceasefire resolution, what it means

The U.N. Security Council on Monday passed a resolution calling for a cease-fire in Gaza, after five months of brutal conflict and a number of failed attempts, including several resolutions that were vetoed by the United States.

The latest resolution, demanding an end to fighting during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and the release of all hostages, was backed by 14 nations including China and Russia. The United States abstained, allowing it to pass.
