The draft, seen by Al Jazeera on Monday, said the Security Council should underscore its support for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza as soon as practical, based on the formula of all hostages being released while also lifting all barriers to the provision of humanitarian assistance at scale in Gaza.
Israel has said it plans to storm Rafah, where more than 1.4 million of the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza have sought shelter. Those plans have prompted widespread international concern that such a move would kill large numbers of civilians and sharply worsen the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which is on the brink of famine, according to the UN.
