"It said an “immediate and sustained ceasefire” was “imperative” adding that “towards that end” unequivocal support should be given to the hostage negotiations."

Read the danged article folks, it's just saying "a ceasefire would be good, they need to agree to our hostage deal to do that." They're not calling for a ceasefire unequivocally, it's a continuation of the Biden position from a new venue in the hope that it will, aesthetically, look like they're doing something.

At least until we see the resolution we should be careful about just granting Joe credit foe this.

Edit: That is the resolution, it's literally just the Biden-Israel line of "agree to our deal and we'll stop for 6 weeks" which they are peddling as if that amounts to a durable ceasefire.
