US circulates rival UN resolution for temporary Gaza cease-fire after rejecting Arab proposal from Algeria
SUMMARY: The United States is circulating a U.N. Security Council resolution for a temporary cease-fire in Gaza instead of supporting an Arab-backed resolution for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire. The U.S. draft resolution emphasizes that the temporary cease-fire requires the release of all hostages taken from Israel by Hamas and calls for the lifting of restrictions on humanitarian aid. The U.S. opposes potential displacement of civilians and warns against Israel’s planned major offensive in Gaza. Qatar has stated that talks for a hostage deal have not been progressing as expected. The U.S. considers the Arab-backed resolution as ineffective and not achieving the intended outcomes of getting hostages out and more aid in. Arab nations and U.N. member countries have been demanding a cease-fire for months as Israel’s military offensive intensifies. The Arab-backed resolution also expresses grave concerns over the humanitarian situation in Gaza and reiterates the council’s call for unhindered humanitarian access in the territory.

Rafah is a dusty, rubble-strewn ghost town 2 months after Israel invaded to root out Hamas – KXAN Austin
SUMMARY: Rafah, a city in the Gaza Strip, has become a deserted, war-ravaged area following a two-month Israeli military invasion targeting Hamas, their final stronghold in Gaza. Abandoned buildings and rubble dominate the landscape, with few civilians remaining. Israel alleges that Hamas turned civilian areas into combat zones, creating deadly traps. Approximately 1.4 million Palestinians fled to Rafah, now reduced to around 50,000 under dire conditions in a “humanitarian area.” Aid efforts are stalled, with dangerous routes and limited access to resources. The humanitarian crisis worsens as Israel pushes forward its offensive, despite significant challenges in aid delivery and civilian survival.
