The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to vote on Monday regarding a resolution that calls for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The vote comes after Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-sponsored resolution Friday that would have supported “an immediate and sustained cease-fire” in the Israeli-Hamas conflict.

The United States cautioned that the resolution up for voting on Monday morning could impede ongoing negotiations aimed at halting hostilities, involving the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar, potentially leading to another veto, this time by the Americans.

The resolution, proposed by the 10 elected council members, enjoys support from Russia, China, and the 22-nation Arab Group at the United Nations.

The United States warned that the resolution scheduled for a vote on Monday morning might hinder the ongoing negotiations aimed at ending hostilities, which involve the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar, potentially resulting in another veto, this time by the Americans.

However, the resolution, initiated by the 10 elected council members, has garnered support from Russia, China, and the 22-nation Arab Group at the United Nations.

The Arab Group emphasized the urgency of a cease-fire, stating that it is long overdue.

With Ramadan starting on March 10 and concluding on April 9, the resolution, if passed, would entail a two-week cease-fire demand. However, the draft underscores that this temporary halt in fighting should pave the way for a lasting and sustainable peace agreement.

The vote was originally scheduled for Saturday morning, but its sponsors asked late Friday for a delay until Monday morning.

Security Council members are hoping the U.N.’s most powerful body, which is charged with maintaining international peace and security, will demand an end to the war that began when Gaza’s Hamas rulers launched a surprise attack into southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing about 1,200 people and taking some 250 others hostage.
