India Abstains from UN Vote on Hamas Mention in Jordanian-led Resolution

India abstained from voting on a UN General Assembly resolution calling for a humanitarian truce in the Israel-Hamas conflict and unhindered humanitarian access in Gaza. The resolution, which was adopted with 120 nations in favor, 14 against, and 45 abstaining, did not mention or condemn the terror attack by Hamas. The US expressed outrage at the omission and proposed an amendment that was supported by India and 87 other nations but failed to obtain the required majority. The resolution also demanded compliance with international law, protection of civilians, and the release of hostages.
