At the United Nations General Assembly in New York (USA), a resolution to temporarily stop the war in Gaza was supported by a large majority of countries. The support to stop the war is a change of course for Denmark, as they abstained from voting in October.
- Why? According to prime minister Mette Frederiksen “a break is needed to get humanitarian aid in. There are people who need help.”
- Konservative (conservatives), Nye Borgerlige (nationalist libertarians), DD (nationalist populists) are unhappy with the temporary ceasefire.
- Enhedslisten, Alternativet (greens) and Radikale Venstre (social liberals) would have liked a call for a permanent ceasefire, an end to the war.
