Lana Nusseibeh says that she has faith in the diplomatic negotiations that are taking place at the UN, after it was reported that an expected council vote was delayed for the third time.
“Everyone wants to see a resolution that has impact and is implementable on the ground, and there are some discussions going on on how to make that possible,” she told reporters in New York.
“In another sense, if this fails, then we will continue to keep trying, because we have to keep trying because there is too much suffering on ground for the council to continue to fail on this,” she continued.
Ultimately, she said, the resolution being negotiated “will go to a vote”, adding that she expects that vote to take place tomorrow morning.
The UAE drafted the resolution in question, the language of which has been reportedly modified to soften calls to end the fighting in Gaza in order to avoid a US veto.
