UN Security Council to vote again on resolution for ceasefire in Gaza
3 June 2025 21:34 BST
The 10 elected members of the United Nations Security Council have asked for the full 15-member body to vote on Wednesday on a draft resolution that demands "an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza respected by all parties", unnamed diplomats cited by the Reuters news agency said.
Reuters reported that the draft text demands the release of all captives held by Hamas and other groups in Gaza, and the immediate lifting of all restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid for safe and unhindered distribution at scale.
A resolution in the Security Council requires nine out of 15 votes in order to pass.
