"US Expresses Concerns as UN Security Council Delays Vote on Gaza Aid Amid Escalating Israel-Hamas Conflict"

The US has expressed serious concerns over a draft UN Security Council resolution on Gaza, just hours before a planned vote. The resolution, aimed at bringing in a ceasefire, has been modified to accommodate Washington's position, but the key sticking point is the proposal for a UN mechanism to monitor aid into Gaza. The US fears this could take away Israel's control of the screening process and has asked for another delay to discuss a monitoring mechanism with Egypt. The US believes the resolution should facilitate humanitarian assistance without hindering the situation on the ground.
