Yes, and the U.S. decided not to vote.

MSNBC

JERUSALEM - The U.N. Security Council approved a resolution Thursday calling for an immediate and durable cease-fire between Hamas militants and Israeli forces now fighting in the Gaza Strip.

The vote was 14-0, with the United States abstaining.

The vote followed three days of intense negotiations between ministers from key Arab nations and the council's veto-wielding Western powers — the United States, Britain and France. It came on the 13th day of an Israeli air and ground offensive against the Islamic group Hamas, which rules Gaza and has been launching rockets and mortars into southern Israel for years.

It is so annoying hearing how Hamas broke the cease fire.
Both are as guilty as the other, Israel blocked aid into Gazza.
one of the terms of the cease fire was to leave it open.

so both are guilty, although some of those earlier rockets where fired by fatah and not Hamas.
