UN Security Council vote on Gaza ceasefire call postponed again

 

A UN Security Council vote on a resolution calling for a pause to the Israel-Hamas war has been postponed again as members wrangle over wording, Paralel.Az reports citing The Times of Israel.

“The Security Council has agreed to continue negotiations today to allow for additional time for diplomacy. And the presidency will reschedule the adoption for tomorrow (Thursday) morning,” says Ecuador’s Jose Javier De La Gasca Lopez-Dominguez, who holds the council’s rotating presidency.

Members of the council have been grappling for days to find common ground on the resolution, a vote on which was pushed back several times throughout Tuesday, after being postponed Monday.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier today there will be no ceasefire in Gaza until the “elimination” of Hamas.
