The President of the United Nations General Assembly Volkan Bozkir says the "overdue ceasefire" in Gaza is "reassuring" after Israel and Hamas, the Islamists who control Gaza, announced a ceasefire aimed to close 11 days of deadly fighting that pounded the Palestinian enclave and forced countless Israelis to seek shelter from rockets.

Faced with the explosion of artificial intelligence, which is arousing both enthusiasm and concern, the UN General Assembly adopts its first resolution on this sensitive social issue.

Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti says in an interview with AFP he hopes to normalise relations with the country's arch-rival Serbia this year, following several rounds of failed talks between the two sides. "Normalisation of relations with Serbia I wish for this year, for 2024, and in the next years and decades I want to come out victorious on issues like social inequality, climate change and security threats," Kurti tells AFP.

The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly passes a non-binding resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza -- a call the paralyzed Security Council has so far failed to make, piling pressure on Israel and Washington. The body, which includes all 193 UN member nations, voted 153 in favor of the resolution, exceeding the 140 or so countries that have routinely backed resolutions condemning Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. Ten countries, including the United States and Israel, voted against, while 23 abstained. IMAGES
