The UN Security Council is set to vote on a resolution condemning the recent attacks by Hamas on Israel and calling for humanitarian aid in Gaza. The draft resolution, sponsored by Brazil, has been under negotiation and the final version is yet to be released. Russia has proposed two amendments to the resolution, one calling for a humanitarian ceasefire and the other condemning attacks on civilians and civilian objects.
The United Nations Security Council failed to adopt a draft resolution led by Brazil that called for humanitarian pauses in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The US vetoed the resolution, stating that it did not mention Israel s right to self-defense. While 12 Council members voted in favor of the resolution, Russia and Britain abstained. This is the second time in two days that the Council failed to adopt a resolution on the situation in the Middle East. The US ambassador to the UN expressed disappointment and emphasized the need to protect civilian lives.
