Iraq has changed its vote and approved a UN resolution calling for a “sustained humanitarian truce” and the cessation of hostilities between Israel and Gaza.

Al-Sahhaf said in a press release that Iraq, however, does not endorse the “two-state solution” and depicting the victims and their oppressors as equals, which was implied in the resolution.

Iraq later complained about technical issues and changed its vote to approval.

Tunisia was the only Arab state to abstain. Tunisia’s UN representative, Tarek al-Adab, told the national radio that the resolution did not go far enough in condemning “the war crimes and genocide carried out by the [Israeli] occupation”.

Israel’s UN ambassador Gilad Erdan rejected the UN resolution, calling it an “infamy” and affirmed Israel’s commitment to self-defence.

“Today is a day that will go down as infamy. We have all witnessed that the UN no longer holds even one ounce of legitimacy or relevance,” he said.
