UNSC Members' Stances on Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Vote Revealed

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is set to meet to discuss the war in Gaza and a draft resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. The resolution, supported by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other Arab nations, requires at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes from the five permanent members. So far, the UNSC has failed to pass four resolutions due to lack of consensus. The US and UK have vetoed previous ceasefire resolutions, while Russia, China, Gabon, and Mozambique have consistently supported immediate ceasefires. The outcome of today's meeting remains uncertain, with the US likely to veto any resolution calling for a ceasefire.
