UN SECURITY COUNCIL VOTE ON PALESTINIANS
UNITED NATIONS, NEW YORK, USA | 01 JUNE 2018 (TBC)

The UN Security Council could vote as soon as Friday on an Arab-backed resolution that asks the UN chief to propose measures to ensure “international protection” for Palestinian civilians.

A vote on the measures — which comes after weeks of urgent discussions but no agreement on any action about escalating violence in Gaza — was at one point scheduled for Thursday evening, but diplomats said it has been postponed until Friday (1500ET/1900GMT) or possibly later.

The Kuwait-sponsored draft resolution “deplores” and demands a halt to “the use of any excessive, disproportionate and indiscriminate force” by the Israeli military, while it also “deplores the firing of rockets from the Gaza Strip at Israeli civilian areas.”
