UN passes resolution for ceasefire

(01:39) Rough Cut

Jan 8 - The UN Security Council passes a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire on Gaza and Israel's full withdrawal after a 13-day offensive, but the United States abstained in the vote.

The vote followed days of intense haggling at the UN with foreign ministers from Arab nations pressing France, Britain and the United States to go along with a resolution rather than a more diluted president's statement.

Speakers:

  • UN Secretary General Ban-Ki-moon
  • French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner
  • US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
