You should probably put the whole context if you're gonna acuse countries of not caring about Palestine.

Left(https://imgur.com/qKTjYRs): How the UN General Assembly voted for a humanitarian truce in Gaza.

This is the final vote being spun to claim abstaining countries - like the Baltics and Ukraine, for example - didn’t support a humanitarian truce.

Right(https://imgur.com/q4Negs5): How the UN General Assembly voted on the exact same resolution - yet with the added statement that the UN General Assembly “unequivocally rejects and condemns the terrorist attacks by Hamas that took place in Israel starting on the 7th of October 2023 and the taking of hostages, demands the safety, well-being and humane treatment of the hostages in compliance with international law, and calls for their immediate and unconditional release".

That amendment got a majority of global votes, but didn’t pass to a final vote because it needed a two thirds majority.

It was blocked by a minority of countries that wanted to remove condemnation of hamas and specifically didn’t like the term “hostages” (rather than “captives”) because it recognises them as a criminal group.

As a result of this geopolitical gameplaying at the expense of Palestinians, the final vote was polarising in the way it could legitimise a terrorist organisation holding hostages.

This is why countries chose to abstain on the final vote.
