The United Nations General Assembly Resolution ES-10/21 is an important decision made by the United Nations General Assembly. This resolution asks for an "immediate and lasting" stop to fighting and a "humanitarian truce" in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.

This resolution was approved by a vote of 121 countries, with 14 countries voting against it and 44 choosing not to vote. Many countries, 47 in total, helped to propose this resolution.
