The United Arab Emirates has asked for the UN Security Council to vote Friday morning on a draft resolution that demands an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the war between Israel and Palestinian terrorists Hamas in the Gaza Strip, diplomats said.
To be adopted, a resolution needs at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the five permanent members - the United States, Russia, China, France or Britain.
The US has said it does not support any further action by the council at this time.
