The Security Council will vote today on a resolution to cease fire in Gaza and allow the entry of aid.

The UN Security Council is scheduled to vote on Wednesday on a draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire and the lifting of restrictions on the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip.

The draft resolution was drafted by the ten non-permanent members of the Security Council, who hold seats for two years.

The draft resolution describes the humanitarian situation in Gaza as "catastrophic" and also calls for "the immediate and unconditional lifting of all restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, and ensuring its safe, unrestricted, and widespread distribution, including to the United Nations and its humanitarian partners."

The draft resolution also calls for the restoration of all essential humanitarian services, in line with these principles, international humanitarian law, and Security Council resolutions.

Palestine's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, said that the Arab Group at the United Nations will not accept that the Security Council and UN organizations remain "paralyzed."

In a press conference held at the United Nations headquarters in New York last night, Mansour stressed that the Security Council bears the responsibility of halting the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, exposing the perpetrators of crimes against the Palestinians, and calling for their accountability.

Mansour added, "Israel does not have the right to decide the future of the peoples of the Middle East, especially the Palestinian people. We, the people, will decide our future, with the support and backing of the vast majority of countries."

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, killing more than 54,510 people, the majority of whom are children and women, and wounding 124,901 others. More than 11,000 remain missing, along with hundreds of thousands displaced.
