According to a senior US official, discussions over a possible ceasefire hit a dead end.
Israel’s foreign minister, Eli Cohen, has said his country will continue its war in Gaza irrespective of international backing.
He said “Israel will continue the war against Hamas with or without international support.
“A ceasefire at the current stage is a gift to the terrorist organisation Hamas, and will allow it to return and threaten the residents of Israel.”
The United Nations general assembly overwhelmingly backed an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
The assembly passed a resolution with 153 in favour, 10 against and 23 abstentions.
The non-binding vote is largely symbolic, but serves as an important barometer of world opinion.
