The UN Security Council has passed a resolution calling for an "immediate ceasefire" in Gaza.
In a change in position, the US refrained from vetoing the measure, which also calls for the release of hostages.
The US move signals divergence with Israel - although the White House insists it's not a policy shift.
In response, Israel has cancelled its delegation's planned visit to the White House this week.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls it a "clear retreat" from the previous US position.
The US says it's "very disappointed" by the cancelled visit - but says a separate visit by Israel's defence minister will go ahead.
The Security Council resolution was approved by 14 votes to none, with one abstention - from the US
