[The United Nations Security Council may vote on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, saying it does not support it] According to multiple media reports citing diplomatic sources, at the request of Algeria, the United Nations Security Council may vote on a resolution seeking an "immediate" ceasefire in the Gaza Strip on February 20. The draft resolution is put to a vote. The latest text shows that the resolution requires "all parties to observe an immediate humanitarian ceasefire," "reject the forced displacement of Palestinians," and "demand the immediate and unconditional release of all detained persons." Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, issued a statement on the draft resolution on the 17th, saying that the United States is negotiating with multiple parties on an agreement to release detainees and may reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip for at least 6 weeks. The statement said these results could not be achieved through Security Council resolutions. The United States therefore does not support action on the draft resolution, and if it is put to a vote, it will not be adopted.
