UN Security Council Approves US Hostage Deal

“Today we voted for peace,” US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the UNSC after the vote at UN headquarters in New York.

“Hamas can now see that the international community is united behind a deal that will save lives and help Palestinian civilians in Gaza start to rebuild and heal,” she said.

Hamas welcomed on Monday a UN Security Council resolution stating that it was ready to cooperate with mediators over implementing the principles of the plan, even though it has yet to formally accept the deal first unveiled on May 31.

Whatevs. If Hamas was going to accept that deal, they would have done so last week. They are stalling for time and waiting to see what other concessions they'll get from Biden and now the UN. This should have been presented as an ultimatum, but Hamas can see how desperate they are to get any deal that allows them to wave a paper over their heads and declare "peace in our time." Thomas-Greenfield practically echoed Neville Chamberlain.
