THE United Nations security council voted today for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza for the month of Ramadan and the release of all hostages.

The resolution to the 15-member council was supported by all members except the United States, which abstained.

The Israelis responded by cancelling a diplomatic delegation to the US over its failure to veto the demand for Israel to cease hostilities for the two remaining weeks of Ramadan.
