This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israel’s ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan held a sign showing the phone number of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s Hamas office at a UNGA meeting on Tuesday.
"You want a real cease-fire?” Erdan declared as he admonished the members of the UNGA as he held up a sign depicting Sinwar’s office phone number and told them to ask him directly, as Sinwar and Hamas bear the true responsibility for the current conflict.
The United Nations General Assembly called for a Gaza ceasefire in a 153-10 vote, with 23 countries abstaining hours after US President Joe Biden warned Israel it was losing support for its campaign to oust Hamas.
The United States and Israel opposed the measure, as did Austria, the Czech Republic, Guatemala, Liberia, Micronesia, Nauru, Papa New Guinea, and Paraguay.
The UN Security Council had already met over the weekend at the request of the organization’s Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, and discussed the war in the Gaza Strip.
The vote on the resolution for a humanitarian ceasefire fell during the same debate after the US vetoed the proposal.
