The UN Security Council is now meeting to vote on a resolution brought by Algeria that calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.
The US ambassador the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, has already telegraphed her intention to veto this resolution.
Speaking before the Security Council, she said that if passed, Algeria’s resolution would work against negotiations taking place for a truce in Gaza.
“Any action this council takes should help and not hinder these sensitive and ongoing negotiations,” she said, “and we believe the resolution on the table right now would negatively impact these negotiations”.
