Calling it a 'truce' is malicious propaganda. The war isn't between Israel and Hamas, it is a war between Israeli state and people of Gaza. Hamas' 'attacks' are nothing compared to the indiscriminate bombing campaign by Israel.

Some excerpts from the article:

US ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield saying “it is outrageous that this resolution fails to name the perpetrators of the October 7th terrorist attacks: Hamas. Hamas. It is outrageous.” Another key word missing from the resolution, Thomas-Greenfield added, was “hostage.” “These are omissions of evil,” she said. “And they give cover to, and they empower, Hamas' brutality.”<

Israel's UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan rejected the resolution and accused those who voted yes of preferencing "the defence of Nazi terrorists" over Israel.

Israel has vowed to wipe out Hamas
