"US Pushes for Temporary Ceasefire in Gaza Conflict at UN"

The US has proposed a draft resolution at the UN Security Council calling for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza and has warned Israel against invading the overcrowded city of Rafah. The US plans to veto another draft resolution from Algeria calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. More than a million displaced Palestinians are crammed into Rafah, and the UN has warned that a planned Israeli offensive in the city could lead to a "slaughter". Talks on the US draft will begin this week, but it is not clear when or if the proposal might be put to a vote.
