UNITED NATIONS – The 193-member United Nations General Assembly is likely to vote on Dec 12 on a draft resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, diplomats said on Dec 10.
The move comes after the United States vetoed on Dec 8 a UN Security Council demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
The General Assembly in October adopted a resolution – 121 votes in favour, 14 against and 44 abstentions – calling for “an immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce leading to a cessation of hostilities”. REUTERS
