UNITED NATIONS/CAIRO/GAZA ¨C Israel faces growing diplomatic isolation in its war against Hamas as the United Nations demands an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza, with U.S. President Joe Biden telling the longtime ally its ¡°indiscriminate¡± bombing of civilians is hurting international support.
After dire warnings from U.N. officials about a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the 193-member U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday passed a resolution calling for a cease-fire with three-quarters of member states voting in favor.
¡°The price of defeating Hamas cannot be the continuous suffering of all Palestinian civilians,¡± the leaders of Canada, Australia and New Zealand said separately in a joint statement calling for a cease-fire.
