With pressure mounting to spare civilian lives, Israel says no ceasefire agreed to enable foreign nationals to flee Gaza today as it prepares to fight Hamas on its home turf.
The United Nations Security Council was to meet Monday at 6 p.m. Eastern, the Brazilian President of the Security Council told CBS News, at the request of Brazil and Russia, to discuss the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.Unlike the past two Security Council meetings, this one will be open, and it's expected to include votes on a Russian draft and a separate proposal from Brazil, both of which call for different versions of a ceasefire in the war. Neither proposal is likely to gain U.S.
President Biden, while urging Israel to protect civilian life, has backed Israel's right to 'go after Hamas' in the Gaza Strip.The U.N. will also hear a briefing Monday from a spokesperson for global body's relief agency in Gaza, UNRWA.
