security council has approved a resolution on gaza demanding an immediate ceasefire. antonio gutierrez has tweeted saying the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages in this resolution must be implemented and failure would be unforgivable. that is antonio gutierrez confirming what we have seen there, a vote in which the united states abstained and therefore didn't vote yes but didn't use its veto and all the other permanent members and other members voted in favour including of course china. this of course has been long discussed, there was a vote on friday and now this vote has been agreed on. it is clearly designed to put pressure on all sides to say the international community is pressing for a ceasefire and hostage release. the us ambassador said a ceasefire

can start with the release of the first hostage and this is the only path. she repeatedly said any ceasefire has to be linked to the release of israeli hostages. let's talk to our reporter, this is a big moment in terms of diplomatic pressure on all sides.— moment in terms of diplomatic pressure on all sides. that's right. this will be _ pressure on all sides. that's right. this will be seen _ pressure on all sides. that's right. this will be seen as _ pressure on all sides. that's right. this will be seen as a _ pressure on all sides. that's right. this will be seen as a very - this will be seen as a very significant moment. the vote today of course follows numerous failed attempts to get similar language through the security council. that key phrase an immediate ceasefire often having proven to have been a stumbling block. the united states on numerous occasions using its veto and at the last attempt on friday russia and china used their veto. but today it was passed. all members

voting in favour except the united states, choosing to abstain which meant the vote could go through. and in the end i think this will be seen as if nothing else in terms of the us domestic position a sign of the growing frustration with the biden administration and the concern about the humanitarian crisis and those three key things, the call for the immediate ceasefire, the call for the release of hostages and the call for increased humanitarian aid, all coming together finally to get that vote. one of the diplomats from algeria saying this finally shows the security council is shouldering its responsibility. taste the security council is shouldering its responsibility.— its responsibility. we await to see the israeli response _ its responsibility. we await to see the israeli response and - its responsibility. we await to see the israeli response and there - its responsibility. we await to see the israeli response and there is l the israeli response and there is some indication the are not happy with this but we will get back to you in the coming hours. stay with
