Diplomats at the United Nations reported that the UN Security Council will vote this week, at Algeria’s request, on a draft resolution calling for an “immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons” in the Gaza Strip, in a move that is likely to clash again with an American veto.
Following the decision issued by the International Court of Justice at the end of January in which it called on the Zionist entity to prevent any possible act of “genocide” in Gaza, Algeria launched consultations in the Security Council on a new draft resolution calling for the establishment of a truce in the Palestinian Strip.
According to the latest version of the Algerian draft resolution, the Security Council calls for “an immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons that is respected by all parties.”
According to diplomatic sources at the United Nations, Algeria has requested that the Security Council vote next Tuesday on the text in its current form.
The draft resolution rejects the “forced displacement of the Palestinian civilian population” and calls for an end to this “violation of international law.”
The text also calls for the release of all hostages.
