The United States plans to submit a UN draft resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, following 166 days of Israeli airstrikes and ground operations that have caused significant casualties and humanitarian concerns. European Union leaders, who have historically been divided on this issue, have joined forces in calling for a halt to the conflict. The situation in Gaza has been described as a “humanitarian tragedy” with the risk of famine looming over the territory. The draft resolution aims to establish a six-week ceasefire to protect civilians and enable the delivery of essential aid. Israel’s control over Gaza’s borders has impeded humanitarian access, leading to calls for a more comprehensive approach to address the crisis.
