US Ready to Support Amended UN Resolution for Gaza Aid Boost

The US has announced its readiness to support an amended UN Security Council resolution aimed at increasing humanitarian aid to Gaza, following negotiations and significant changes to the original draft. The revised resolution removes the call for an "urgent suspension of hostilities" and instead appeals for immediate safe and unhindered humanitarian access, as well as creating conditions for a sustainable cessation of hostilities. The resolution also calls for the appointment of a senior humanitarian and reconstruction coordinator responsible for facilitating, coordinating, monitoring, and verifying aid shipments to Gaza. The US argues that the changes make the resolution stronger, but it remains uncertain whether other council members, particularly Russia, will accept the amendments.
