After the failure of the UN Security Council to act, the UN General Assembly will vote on Friday on a non-binding resolution previously denounced by Israel calling for a “humanitarian truce” on the twenty-first day of the war between Israel and Hamas.

Jordan, on behalf of the Arab group, which includes 22 countries, requested that a vote be taken on its draft resolution at 15:00 local time (19:00 GMT) due to the “seriousness of the situation” in Gaza, while the list of those seeking to speak still includes about One hundred people participated in this discussion, which began on Thursday morning.

The rest of the 193 countries in the United Nations General Assembly to which this issue was submitted stood behind the proposal to advance the date, after the divided UN Security Council rejected four draft resolutions in less than two weeks.

The text, which requires the support of two-thirds of the countries participating in the vote for its approval, calls for “an immediate, permanent, and continuous humanitarian truce leading to an end to the fighting.” A previous version called for an “immediate ceasefire.”

The war between Israel and Hamas began after an unprecedented attack launched by the movement inside Israeli territory on October 7, in which 1,400 people were killed, according to Israel.

After the attack, the Israeli army began a violent bombing campaign on the Gaza Strip, imposing a tight siege on the Strip, which is inhabited by about 2.4 million people. The Gaza Ministry of Health announced that 7,326 people had been killed.

The draft resolution, drafted by Jordan and sponsored by about forty countries, focuses on the humanitarian situation in Gaza and specifically calls for the provision of water, food, fuel and electricity “immediately” and “in sufficient quantities” and the access of humanitarian assistance “without obstacles.”

The text also condemns “all acts of violence directed against Palestinian and Israeli civilians, in particular terrorist acts and indiscriminate attacks.” He expresses his “deep concern about the recent escalation in violence since the October 7 attack,” without explicitly mentioning Hamas.

This matter angered Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan, who on Thursday considered that the place of this text “is in the dustbin of history”
