As expected, a Russian-drafted Security Council resolution has failed to gather the required minimum of nine votes in the UN after the US-led opposition towards it for being insufficiently critical of Hamas. The draft called for a humanitarian ceasefire between Israel and Hamas as well as the release of captives held in Gaza and the safe evacuation of civilians.

The US is continuing to urge Israel to minimise the risk of civilian casualties, according to an envoy. Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo reports from the United Nations headquarters in New York.
