He questioned why the four suspects in the Friday attack, which killed at least 139 people, had been captured in a part of Russia that borders Ukraine. Russian state media has been pushing the narrative that Ukraine was behind the attack, even though the Islamic State claimed responsibility.

The vote ended a five-month impasse during which the U.S. had vetoed three calls to halt the fighting. The resolution also called for the “immediate and unconditional release of all hostages” and the lifting of “all barriers to the provision of humanitarian assistance.” The U.S. said it had abstained in part because the resolution did not condemn Hamas.
