UN calls for immediate ceasefire in Gaza, Biden warns Israel is losing support

23 Sept 02:51 Key points summarised by AI

The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly passed a non-binding resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, with 153 nations voting in favor despite opposition from the U.S. and Israel.
U.S. President Joe Biden warned Israel it is "losing international support" due to its "indiscriminate bombing" of civilians and urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to change his hard-line government and accept an independent Palestinian state.
U.N. officials highlight a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, reporting over 18,205 Palestinian deaths, widespread starvation affecting half the population, and the rapid spread of diseases amid ongoing Israeli military operations.
Australia, Canada, and New Zealand joined international calls for a sustainable ceasefire, emphasizing that the cost of defeating Hamas should not be the continuous suffering of Palestinian civilians.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
