So the ceasefire is only for two weeks. No wonder the US abstained

Absolutely not. That’s why when i heard the US abstained i had to double check why, and predictably it was because of the length of the ceasefire.
Also, demanding the change of language from ‘permanent’ ceasefire to ‘sustained’ ceasefire was scummy and probably also part of the reason why they abstained and let the vote pass.

Oh, i think i see what you mean? Yes, the fact that it does count as an actual ceasefire is a good thing.
Sorry if I’m not understanding, english isn’t my first language.

Ah i see what you mean, thanks for the clarification. Yes, i agree with you there on why they voted the way they did.
