Arab nations are putting to a vote a U.N. resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza, knowing it will be vetoed by the United States but hoping to show broad global support for ending the Israel-Hamas war.
That’s good to know. So does that just require a majority vote? (Which if this wasn’t vetoed would have been a landslide). Or does it require some other percentage?

UN general assembly majority vote, but security council, the permanent members all need to agree as even one nay is a veto.
So that would mean if the U.S. eventually doesn’t veto it, Russia might as it has clearly been to their benefit.
What a stupid world we live in.
