Hamas welcomed the United Nations’ demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and urged the international community to continue pressuring Israel to abide by the resolution, a senior official of the Palestinian Islamist group, Izzat El-Reshiq, said in a statement early on Wednesday.
More than three-fourths of the 193-member UN General Assembly backed the move, which was vetoed by the United States in the Security Council last week.
