NEW YORK, Oct 16 — UN Security Council members held difficult talks yesterday on a possible resolution over the war between Israel and Hamas, with two drafts on the negotiating table, diplomats said.
That draft calls for “unimpeded” humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, which had already been under a years-long Israeli blockade and is now under a full-blown siege, with basics like electricity and food supplies cut off. More than 1,400 people have been killed in Israel since the attack unleashed last week by Hamas militants, the Israeli prime minister’s office said Sunday.
After seeking suggestions for changes to the text, Russia asked Brazil, the council’s current chair, to put it up for a vote on Monday.To be adopted, a resolution needs at least nine votes on the 15-member body and cannot be vetoed by any of the five permanent members — the United States, Britain, China, France and Russia.
