Official Russian News Agency Reports Wrong Vote Figures On Anti-Hamas UN Resolution

The truth:"the Assembly failed to adopt another text titled “Activities of
Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza” (document A/73/L.42). While the
text gained plurality support in a recorded vote of 87 in favour to 57
against, with 33 abstentions, it failed to meet the two-thirds adoption
requirement."

UN, December 7. /TASS/. The UN General Assembly on Thursday rejected a
US-led draft resolution that condemns the Palestinian movement of Hamas.

The main intrigue was the procedural vote held in the run-up to the main
vote, to decide whether the resolution should be passed by two thirds or by
a simple majority. US Ambassdor to UN Nikki Haley insisted on the second
variant, but the General Assembly members voted against it, narrowing the
odds of the resolution to be passed.

A total of 87 countries, including Russia, Arab countries and Southern
American nations, voted against the document during the main vote. 57
nations supported it, while 33 abstained.

Among other things, the resolution condemned Hamas for "repeatedly firing
rockets into Israel and for inciting violence, thereby putting civilians at
risk," and for its use of resources in Gaza to construct military
infrastructure "including tunnels to infiltrate Israel and equipment to
launch rockets into civilian areas."
