The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is set to vote on Tuesday on a proposal by Algeria for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. However, the United States (US) has indicated that it might veto the resolution, expressing concerns that it could hinder "sensitive negotiations" aimed at ending the war. Algeria initially presented the draft resolution over two weeks ago, but it has faced opposition from the US.
