The UN Security Council evening hoped to rush negotiations and hold a vote on a resolution demanding the entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza, postponing an official vote to Friday. Diplomats said discussions took place over specific text included in the resolution, to avoid another US veto. “We have worked hard and diligently over the course of the past week with the Emiratis, with others, with Egypt, to come up with a resolution that we can support, and we do have that resolution now. We’re ready to vote on it,” US ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield stated.
