Campaign Tweet

From Monday…

I'll never stop fighting for families like the ones I grew up with in Scranton – folks who rely on their paychecks, not their portfolios, to put food on the table.

UN Security Council Tweet

From Monday…

The UN Security Council just adopted our resolution calling on Hamas to accept the deal to establish a ceasefire with the release of hostages.

Hamas says it wants a ceasefire. This deal is an opportunity to prove they mean it.
— President Biden (@POTUS) June 10, 2024

ABC News reported on Monday that; The United Nations Security Council on Monday afternoon adopted a U.S. draft resolution urging Hamas to accept the latest cease-fire and hostage release proposed deal. Fourteen members of the council voted in favor of the measure and only one — Russia — elected to abstain. Russia is one of the five permanent members of the Security Council with veto power over resolutions.

Spokesman for the U.S. mission to the United Nations, Nate Evans issued a statement ahead of the UN Security Council’s vote:

Today, the United States called for the Security Council to move towards a vote on the U.S. draft Security Council Resolution supporting the proposal on the table that would bring about a full and immediate ceasefire with the release of hostages.
As we have repeatedly emphasized, implementation of this deal would enable an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas in its first phase, an immediate surge in humanitarian assistance and restoration of basic services, the return of Palestinian civilians to northern Gaza, together with a roadmap for ending the crisis altogether and a multi-year internationally backed reconstruction plan.
Israel has accepted this proposal and the Security Council has an opportunity to speak with one voice and call on Hamas to do the same. Doing so would help save lives and the suffering of civilians in Gaza as well as the hostages and their families. Council Members should not let this opportunity to pass by and must speak with one voice in support of this deal.

UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said via Twitter:

NEW: Today, the UN Security Council sent a clear message to Hamas:

Accept the ceasefire-hostage deal on the table.

Israel has already accepted this deal.

The fighting could stop today – and hostages could come home today – if Hamas agreed to the deal.
— Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield (@USAmbUN) June 10, 2024

AP News reported on Monday; Although the deal has been described as an Israeli initiative and thousands of Israelis have demonstrated to support it, Netanyahu has been skeptical, saying what has been presented publicly is not accurate and that Israel is still committed to destroying Hamas. Netanyahu’s far-right allies have threatened to collapse his government if he implements the plan. Benny Gantz, a popular centrist, resigned on Sunday from the three-member War Cabinet after saying he would do so if the prime minister did not formulate a new plan for postwar Gaza.
