The U.N. Security Council scheduled a vote Wednesday on a resolution which demands “an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza respected by all parties.” U.N. diplomats said the United States is likely to veto it.
The resolution, drafted by the council’s 10 elected members who serve two-year terms, reiterates its demand for the release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups following their Oct. 7, 2023 surprise attack in southern Israel.
Calling the humanitarian situation in Gaza “catastrophic,” the proposed resolution also demands “the immediate and unconditional lifting of all restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and its safe and unhindered distribution at scale, including by the U.N. and humanitarian partners.”
