Israeli authorities are voicing opposition to a proposed draft resolution scheduled to be presented to the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday. The resolution is backed by Algeria, Denmark, Greece, Guyana, Pakistan, Panama, the Republic of Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, and Somalia, and it advocates for reinstating a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the return of hostages, and the easing of limitations on humanitarian aid.

The United Nations has issued a litany of criticisms of Israel’s handling of the war as Palestinians in Gaza struggled under the blockade that was reinstated after the ceasefire collapsed in March. Israel lifted restrictions on humanitarian aid in May.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a U.S. and Israel-backed aid organization, paused its aid distribution operations on Wednesday following days of deadly incidents near its sites. 

“GHF is actively engaged in discussions with the IDF to enhance its security measures beyond the immediate perimeter of GHF sites,” a GHF spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “We have asked the IDF to: introduce measures that guide foot traffic in a way that minimizes confusion or escalation risks near IDF military perimeters; develop clearer IDF-issued guidance to help the population transit safely; enhance IDF force training and refine internal IDF procedures to support safety.”

If passed, the draft resolution would be legally binding—unlike those that come out of the U.N. General Assembly. It is unclear, however, what impact it would have on Israel’s current operations or policy.

The U.S. Mission to the U.N. did not respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
