Macron: France will put forward new UN resolution for Gaza ceasefire

France is working on a new UN resolution for a Gaza ceasefire after Russia and China vetoed a US-proposed resolution.

"Following Russia's and China's veto a few minutes ago, we are going to resume work on the basis of the French draft resolution in the Security Council and work with our American, European and Arab partners to reach an agreement," French President Emmanuel Macron said at an EU leaders' summit in Brussels.

On Thursday, France's foreign ministry said it had already started drafting a resolution with diplomats, stating that it would put it forward if the US resolution was not adopted.
