"No group immediately claimed responsibility for what Israel denounced as a "terror attack" at the only gateway for Palestinians from the Israeli-occupied West Bank to Jordan. "The driver accused of the operation is Abdul Mutalib al-Qaisi, born in 1968. He is a civilian who began working as a driver delivering aid to Gaza three months ago," Jordan's foreign ministry said."
"The U.N. Security Council is set to vote on a resolution Thursday that would once again demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages while expressing alarm about a recent famine report and Israel's expanding offensive in Gaza City. Diplomats at the United Nations said the United States will likely veto the effort, as they have done for similar resolutions in the past year, including the last effort in June."
A vehicle attack at the only gateway for Palestinians from the Israeli-occupied West Bank to Jordan left two Israelis dead and the attacker shot dead. Jordan identified the accused driver as Abdul Mutalib al-Qaisi, born in 1968, and said he had worked delivering aid to Gaza for three months. Jordan announced an investigation and described the shootings as a threat to its humanitarian role. Israel's chief of staff advised halting humanitarian aid entry from Jordan until an inquiry and revised driver screening. The U.N. Security Council will vote on a resolution demanding an immediate, permanent ceasefire and hostage releases; a U.S. veto is expected.
