NEW YORK— On Friday, diplomatic sources
announced that the UN Security Council would vote on Saturday on a resolution
clearly calling for an ‘immediate ceasefire’ in Gaza, following the Russian and
Chinese veto of a US resolution referring to a ceasefire, Al-Mamlaka TV
reported.

According to sources cited by Agence
France-Presse (AFP), the vote on the resolution, prepared by several
non-permanent members of the Security Council, is scheduled for 10:00am.
Earlier on Friday, the UN Security Council
failed to adopt a US resolution emphasizing the necessity for a ceasefire in
the Gaza Strip after Russia and China exercised their veto power. The
resolution garnered support from 11 members of the council, while three opposed
it, and one member abstained from voting.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned
the Russian and Chinese veto against the Washington-backed resolution
supporting the call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Blinken, speaking to reporters in
Israel, stated, "On the resolution, which received very strong support but
was cynically vetoed by Russia and China, I believe we were attempting to
convey to the international community a sense of urgency regarding the need for
a ceasefire."
