The UN Security Council postponed, again, for today, the vote on a new resolution on the war in Gaza, at the request of the US, dpa reports. The draft resolution presented by the United Arab Emirates calls for the suspension of hostilities in the Gaza Strip to facilitate more deliveries of humanitarian aid. Previously, several resolutions calling for a ceasefire failed in the UN Security Council, because the US opposed it. So far, the Council has adopted only one resolution with a humanitarian focus, a few weeks ago. On the ground, the Hamas terrorists resumed rocket launches from the Gaza Strip at Israeli targets. On the other hand, the Palestinian death toll reported in Gaza since the outbreak of hostilities in October has risen to 20,000. We remind you that the war broke out after the attack committed by Hamas against Israel, resulting in over 1,200 deaths, mostly civilians, and hundreds of kidnappings. (LS)
