Algeria has drafted a UN Security Council resolution to demand an immediate humanitarian ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, a move that the United States — a council veto power — opposes because it says it would only benefit the Palestinian fighters.

The draft, seen by Reuters, also “rejects the forced displacement of the Palestinian civilian population” and again demands all parties comply with international law and calls for full, rapid, safe, and unhindered humanitarian access into and throughout the entire Gaza Strip.

Algeria shared the draft with the 15-member council, diplomats said, after the body met to discuss a ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last week that ordered Israel to take action to prevent acts of genocide, but it stopped short of calling for an immediate ceasefire.

It was not immediately known when or if Algeria’s draft resolution could be put to a vote. A resolution needs at least nine votes in favour and no vetoes by the United States, Britain, France, China or Russia to be adopted.
