The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is set to vote on a new resolution on Monday, calling for an immediate and sustainable cessation of hostilities in Gaza.
The United States has shown increasing frustration with its ally Israel, as it continues its deadly strikes in response to Hamas's unprecedented attack on October 7.
Recently, the United States blocked a previous Security Council resolution that would have called for a "humanitarian ceasefire" in the battered Palestinian territory. However, in the General Assembly, the UN's 193 members overwhelmingly voted for a ceasefire, with 153 in favor, which exceeded the number of countries that have typically supported resolutions condemning Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
The upcoming Security Council resolution was introduced by Arab countries that had come away from last Tuesday's General Assembly vote backed by such broad international support. However, the latest text's fate remains uncertain.
