"US Pushes for Temporary Ceasefire in Gaza with UN Resolution"

The United States has proposed a draft resolution at the United Nations Security Council calling for a "temporary ceasefire" in Gaza, warning against an Israeli ground incursion into Rafah and emphasizing the need to secure the safe release of hostages still held by Hamas. The US draft falls short of the immediate ceasefire sought by most other Security Council members, and it comes after the US had vowed to veto an Algerian draft proposal calling for an immediate ceasefire. Despite international pressure, Israel has indicated plans to expand its ground operations into Rafah, prompting concerns about the potential harm to civilians and their further displacement.
