"US Pushes Gaza Cease-Fire Resolution as Israel-Hamas War Continues"
The US has drafted a UN resolution calling for an immediate and sustained ceasefire in Gaza, but its wording has drawn criticism for not explicitly using the word "call" and implying conditions tied to the release of hostages. The resolution faces potential veto from Russia, but the US claims to have enough support for it to pass. If the resolution fails, an alternative draft calling for an immediate ceasefire will be put to a vote. The resolution aims to show US leadership at the UN and address humanitarian concerns in Gaza, but its defeat could lead to further diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire.
