The U.S. and Russia offered their war resolutions for the worsening Israel-Hamas conflict.
Although the two countries are on bad terms, both of them provided their resolution plans to the United Nations.
But, the question is, which will the UN choose? Is it Russia's ceasefire suggestion or the humanitarian pause that the United States suggested?
US, Russia Offer Israel-Hamas War Resolution To UN
According to Reuters' latest report, the U.S. and Russia both want to help Palestinian civilians who are caught up in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
To do this, both of these super countries want the UN Security Council to address water, food, electricity, and medical supply shortages.
However, the two nations have their own war resolution suggestions; Russia wants to have a humanitarian ceasefire, while the United States calls for a humanitarian pause so that aid can enter the Gaza Strip.
To give you an idea, a humanitarian pause is less formal and shorter compared to a ceasefire. Due to this fact, the Russian government announced on Tuesday, Oct. 24, that it can't support the suggestion of the U.S.
The U.S. government's proposal already has an initial draft, which was staunchly pro-Israel, to the 15-member council. On the other hand, the ceasefire suggestion of Russia was supported by Arab states.
As of writing, it is unclear when the two nations' Israel-Hamas war resolutions will be put to a vote. Once this happens, the UN Security Council will pick the resolution that will receive at least nine votes.
There should also be no vetoes by France, Britain, the United States, China, or Russia if the chosen resolution is to be adopted.
US Adjusted Israel-Hamas War Resolution Draft
Fox News reported that Washington adjusted its Israel-Hamas war because of the Russian government's demands. Specifically, the U.S. didn't mention Iran in its resolution draft.
Before this adjustment, the original draft suggested that Iran should stop funding terror groups.
"Iran must cease the export of all arms and related matériel to armed militias and terrorist groups threatening peace and security across the region, including Hamas," said the U.S. government in its original draft.
But, after Russia asked the U.S. to change this, the Israel-Hamas war resolution of Washington no longer mentions anything about Iran. You can click this link to learn more about this draft change.
