The UN Security Council on Thursday will try once again to pass a resolution calling for a halt in fighting between Israel and Hamas after previous efforts to win Washington’s backing fell short.
Diplomatic wrangling at United Nations headquarters in Manhattan headquarters — which caused the vote to be postponed again Wednesday — has come against a backdrop of deteriorating conditions in Gaza and a mounting death toll.
The United Arab Emirates is sponsoring a draft resolution on the conflict which has already been watered down to secure compromise, according to a draft version seen by AFP.
It calls for “the urgent suspension of hostilities to allow safe and unhindered humanitarian access, and for urgent steps towards a sustainable cessation of hostilities.”
Countries “are engaging at the highest level of diplomacy to reach a text that will have impact on the ground. Diplomacy takes time,” said the UAE’s ambassador Lana Zaki Nusseibeh.বিস্তারিত
