UN Gaza ceasefire vote delayed until this evening

The United Nations Security Council vote on the Arab and Islamic nations' Israel-Gaza ceasefire resolution (which has 54 co-sponsors and counting) has been moved to later in the evening. 

The 15-member body had been due to vote on the resolution on Friday morning in New York local time. 

The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres invoked Article 99 of the UN Charter, in a rare move earlier this week to formally warn the Security Council of the global threat from Israel’s war on Gaza.
