The Palestinian ambassador to the UN says that the Arab and the OIC groups have circulated a UN General Assembly draft resolution “to have the largest number possible of countries voting in favor and it looks promising”.

“Our effort is to bring an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, and in our resolution, it also refers to the letter of the secretary general invoking Article 99 in which he asked for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. There is almost a global consensus on that call,” Mansour said.

The US vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on Friday calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and a return of all hostages held in Gaza.

“There might be some amendments who are still insisting to politicise the subject. We are determined [to] oppose these amendments. We believe we will prevail with almost the entire international community in calling for a humanitarian ceasefire,” he said.

Al Jazeera's Kristen Saloomey is live from the UN to talk more about this.
