UN Security Council likely to vote tomorrow on Gaza measure demanding truce, release of hostages, full resumption of aid
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe 10 elected members of the UN Security Council have asked for the 15-member body to vote tomorrow on a draft resolution that demands “an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza respected by all parties,” diplomats say.
The draft text, seen by Reuters, also demands the release of all hostages held by Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups, and the immediate lifting of all restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and its safe and unhindered distribution at scale, including by the UN throughout the enclave.
A resolution needs nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the permanent members — the United States, Russia, China, Britain or France — to pass.
