The UN - United against Israel

UN Security Council set to vote on Gaza ceasefire

Key point missing in proposal - the release of the hostages; major concern for families and governments seeking justice.

The United Nations Security Council is poised to vote today (Wednesday) on a draft resolution calling for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, a proposal that notably omits any mention of the release of hostages, according to reports in Israeli media.

The resolution, spearheaded by ten non-permanent council members and officially submitted by Guyana's delegation, has placed the United States at the center of attention.

While efforts have been made to craft language that might avoid triggering a U.S. veto, it remains unclear whether Washington will ultimately support or block the measure.

The Security Council is scheduled to convene Wednesday afternoon to discuss and vote on the proposal, which demands an end to hostilities in the Gaza Strip without linking it to other conditions. This marks a departure from previous U.S. positions, as the Biden administration backed a similar resolution in June that explicitly included a call for the release of hostages alongside a ceasefire.

Despite the potential significance of the vote, Security Council resolutions remain non-binding and primarily declarative in nature, raising questions about their impact on the ground even if the draft is adopted.
