UNITED NATIONS — Following a veto at the UN Security Council of an American resolution on the need for an “immediate and sustained ceasefire” in the Israel-Hamas war as part of a hostage deal, a new vote on an alternative text has been postponed to Monday, diplomatic sources say.

The postponement of the vote, originally planned for Saturday, is intended to allow further discussions of the draft, the sources say.
