2:24:00Now PlayingUN Security Council convenes to hold a vote on a new resolution calling for an "urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities" in Gaza. The voting was postponed to avoid another US veto as negotiations continue over the wording of the resolution that the US, Israel's closest ally, is likely to object to. This new draft introduced by the United Arab Emirates follows a General Assembly vote for a cease-fire last week.
The original draft had called for an "urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities" in Gaza to allow "safe and unhindered humanitarian access" in the Palestinian enclave. However, to avoid the US veto, the language is likely to be weakened to a "suspension" of hostilities, diplomats told the Associated Press news agency on the condition of anonymity.
Earlier this month, the US had vetoed a Security Council resolution that would have called for a "humanitarian cease-fire" in the battered Palestinian territory where Israel has continued bombardment in response to the October 7 terror attack by Hamas, the Islamist militant group ruling Gaza that is recognized by several countries as a terrorist organization.
