The vote will take place at 10am local time in New York (15:00 GMT), Al Jazeera reports.

The latest resolution — put forward by the 10 elected members of the UN Security Council — demands “an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas.

The supporting members are Algeria, Ecuador, Guyana, Japan, Malta, Mozambique, South Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia and Switzerland.

The text could still be blocked by the US, one of five non-elected members with the power to veto resolutions, according to Security Council Report, a media outlet which monitors the UN council’s work.
