Please try again later {{ /verifyErrors }} The United States has drafted a resolution for the United Nations Security Council calling for an “immediate and sustained ceasefire” in the Israel-Hamas war, a new report reveals. The US circulated the first draft last month, just one day before they vetoed a Security Council resolution that would demand an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire.” The US was the only country in the 15-member body that voted no on the widely supported resolution in February, while the United Kingdom abstained. The latest draft of the US resolution, as of Thursday, “unequivocally supports international diplomatic efforts to establish an immediate and sustained cease-fire as part of a deal that releases the hostages, and that allows the basis for a more durable peace to alleviate humanitarian suffering,” the AP reports. Now, this week’s latest draft states that Israel Defense Forces invading Rafah “would result in further harm to civilians and their further displacement, potentially into neighboring countries, and would have serious implications for regional peace and security,” according to the AP.
