On Friday, the US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said that a Security Council resolution proposed by Algeria might risk undermining "sensitive negotiations" intended to facilitate a ceasefire in Gaza.
On Wednesday, Algeria circulated a draft among the 15-member council that calls for an immediate humanitarian truce between Israel and Hamas.
"This draft resolution could put sensitive negotiations in jeopardy- derailing the exhaustive, ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure the release of hostages and secure an extended pause that Palestinian civilians and aid workers so desperately need,” Thomas-Greenfield told reporters.
