Russia proposes UN Security Council resolution on Israel-Hamas conflict

Russia on Friday proposed a draft United Nations Security Council resolution on the Israel-Hamas conflict that would call for a humanitarian ceasefire and condemn violence against civilians and all acts of terrorism, according to a draft text seen by Reuters.

The one-page draft resolution also calls for the release of hostages, humanitarian aid access and the safe evacuation of civilians in need. The text was given to the 15-member council during a closed-door meeting on the conflict on Friday, diplomats said.
