The breakdown of the recorded vote, conducted shortly before 4 PM (New York time), included 120 members in favour and 14 against, with 45 abstentions. As decided by the General Assembly in earlier in the day, the resolution required a two-thirds majority of members present and voting to be adopted.

In response, the government of Israel declared a state of emergency and war; fighting is ongoing in Kfar Aza and Sderot.
