UN Security Council delays vote on Gaza ceasefire resolution amid negotiations

UN Security Council postponed the vote on a draft resolution proposed by seven non-permanent member states, seeking a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip during Ramadan, according to media reports.

The vote, initially scheduled for Monday, has been rescheduled for the following day, reportedly due to negotiations involving Washington.

Russia and China blocked a draft resolution put forward by Washington, criticizing it as politicized and granting excessive freedom to the Israeli Occupation.

Meanwhile, Israeli Occupation Forces have persisted in their aggression against Gaza for the 169th day, exacerbating an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.

Official figures suggest that over 27 Palestinians, mostly children, have succumbed to malnutrition and starvation, particularly in the northern Gaza Strip.
