A fresh attempt will be made at the UN Security Council today for a vote on a resolution urging a halt to the conflict in Gaza.
Diplomatic negotiations are underway to finalize the wording of the resolution to prevent a US veto. The main point of contention revolves around the inspection and monitoring of humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
The United Arab Emirates, the author of the draft resolution, stated that high-level discussions are ongoing to achieve a resolution with significant impact.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized efforts to ensure that UN actions don’t complicate the delivery of aid to Gaza.
In an earlier vote this month, the majority of the UN Security Council favored an immediate ceasefire, but the US vetoed the demand, and the UK abstained. Israel maintains its opposition to a permanent ceasefire, insisting on the dismantling of Hamas before ending the conflict.
