U.N. Security Council to Vote on Plan for Israel-Hamas Ceasefire

A resolution requires at least nine votes in favor

The United Nations Security Council will vote later on Monday on U.S.-drafted resolution backing a proposal outlined by President Joe Biden for a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The U.S. finalized 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 requires at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the U.S., France, Britain, China or Russia to pass.
