The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to vote on a resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. This comes after a U.S.-sponsored resolution was vetoed by Russia and China on Friday, which aimed to support an immediate and sustained cease-fire in the Israeli-Hamas conflict.
The resolution to be voted on Monday morning is backed by Russia, China, and the 22-nation Arab Group at the United Nations. The Arab Group has urged all council members to act with unity and urgency to halt the bloodshed, preserve human lives, and avert further suffering and destruction.
