The US abstained in a vote for a resolution that 'demands an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan'. It also demanded the release of hostages by Hamas, but did not make the ceasefire dependent on hostage release, a linkage the US had previously insisted on. All other 14 members of the security council voted in favour of the resolution.
