"UN Gaza Resolution Vote Delayed Again Amidst Efforts to Avoid US Veto"

The United Nations Security Council vote on a resolution to increase aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip has been delayed for another day as negotiations continue to avoid a potential U.S. veto. The draft resolution, proposed by the United Arab Emirates, calls for the facilitation of humanitarian aid to Gaza and the establishment of a U.N. monitoring mechanism. The U.S. and Israel oppose a ceasefire, instead supporting pauses in fighting to protect civilians and secure the release of hostages. The U.S. is seeking to modify the language of the resolution, particularly regarding the suspension of hostilities. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in a dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, with thousands of Palestinians displaced and in need of assistance.
