"UN Urges Halt to Weapons Shipments to Israel and Calls for Accountability for Possible War Crimes"

The UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution urging countries to halt weapons shipments to Israel in an effort to prevent rights violations against Palestinians amid the military campaign in Gaza. The measure targets various Israeli actions and calls for independent investigations into shipments of weapons and dual-use items. The resolution, while non-binding, reflects international concern about Israel's military campaign, with Western countries divided in their stance. The resolution comes amid growing focus on weapons shipments to Israel, and the US has issued a warning to Israel regarding its handling of the Gaza war.
