Today, Friday, the UN Security Council will vote on a draft US resolution regarding the Gaza Strip.

The American draft resolution, according to Anadolu Agency, calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the protection of civilians from all parties, allowing the delivery of basic humanitarian aid, alleviating human suffering, and concluding an agreement on prisoners.

The draft resolution, which the United States has been negotiating for some time, indicates that Gaza is part of the territories occupied in 1967 and expresses its support for the two-state solution.

The draft resolution supports ongoing international diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire, and also calls on all parties to adhere to international law and international humanitarian law, protect civilians, preserve civilian infrastructure, and ensure humanitarian access.

The draft resolution opposes the forced displacement of civilians in Gaza, noting that this violates international law, international humanitarian law, and international human rights law.

In addition to the American draft resolution, the ten elected members of the Security Council are also preparing a draft resolution on the situation in Gaza.

The draft resolution, known as “E-10,” calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during the holy month of Ramadan.

France, which held closed Security Council sessions over the past two weeks regarding Gaza, is also preparing a draft resolution. It is expected that he will focus on a permanent ceasefire later.

To be adopted, the draft resolution requires the approval of at least nine votes and the non-use of the veto by any of the five permanent members: the United States, France, Britain, Russia, and China.

Since the start of the aggression on Gaza, on the seventh of last October, Washington has used its veto power against three draft resolutions, two of which called for an immediate ceasefire.

The death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen since October 7, to about 32,000 and 74,188 injured, the majority of whom are women and children, in addition to thousands of victims who are still under the rubble.
