US Diplomacy Aims to Prevent Veto on Critical Gaza Aid Resolution
The United States, along with key allies and Arab nations, is engaged in high-level diplomacy to avoid vetoing a new UN resolution on critical aid for Gaza. The US has been seeking changes to the text, including references to a cessation of hostilities and the inspection of aid trucks. The vote, initially postponed multiple times, is now scheduled for Thursday morning. The UAE, which sponsored the resolution, expressed optimism about reaching an agreement but stated that if negotiations fail, a vote will proceed. The UN Secretary-General has warned of a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, with over half of households experiencing severe hunger. The draft resolution also calls for exclusive UN monitoring of aid deliveries, bypassing Israeli inspection.
