The UN Security Council will meet on the Israeli-Palestinian crisis as the fighting continues
The China-led Security Council is scheduled to meet in New York on Sunday.
The UN, Egypt and Qatar were negotiating a short ceasefire to get fuel to the only Gaza plant in the Mediterranean enclave, which has been blocked by Israelis since 2007, two Western diplomats told the Financial Times. The Gaza Strip, home to 2 million people, will run out of fuel by Monday, an Israeli official has estimated.
The Israeli security cabinet is also due to meet on Sunday to discuss whether to offer a long-term truce to Hamas, an Israeli government aide told the FT. The military wants the Palestinian team to return the bodies of two soldiers. The fate of two Israeli civilians arrested in Gaza is also at stake, the aide said.
