The UN Security Council plans to vote today on the latest call for a ceasefire and increase humanitarian access to Gaza, a move that the majority seeks to take action despite repeated U.S. fat harvests, AFP Report.
The 10 non-permanent members launched discussions on the current draft resolution in late August in response to official announcements nearly two years after the Israeli war on the Palestinian territory.
The earlier draft mainly called for aid barriers, but diplomatic sources told AFP France, Britain and Russia have been screened for the value of purely humanitarian resolutions that are to maintain world peace, and the United States may still prevent such peace.
The draft to vote today has been reviewed AFPthe call for open aid, but also “requires respect for the immediate, unconditional and permanent ceafire of Gaza” and the direct and unconditional release of hostages.
European diplomats told AFP. “It’s not even attempting to make the United States too easy,” the diplomat said. “[in]they don’t have to face 14 members for the Council and the world public without having to prove it.”
“It doesn’t help the Palestinians much, but at least we’ve been showing ourselves trying.”
