U.S. Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield speaks during the UN General Assembly emergency special session on the Israel-Hamas war at the U.N. headquarters on December 12, 2023 in New York City. The General Assembly resumed its 45th plenary meeting after Egypt and Mauritania invoked Resolution 377, known as "Uniting for Peace," to demand an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the two-month-long war between Israel and Hamas after the U.S. vetoed a similar vote in the Security Council.  The death toll in Gaza had passed 18,000 by then during Israel's offensive, after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that Israel says killed 1,200 people and saw 240 people taken hostage.
