The United Nations Security Council will vote today on a US-drafted resolution backing a proposal — outlined by President Joe Biden — for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Reuters reports.

The US finalised its text on Sunday after six days of negotiations among the 15-member council. It was not immediately clear whether veto-powers Russia and China would allow the adoption of the draft.

A resolution needs at least nine votes in favour and no vetoes by the US, France, Britain, China or Russia to pass.
