UN Security Council vote on Gaza faces threat of US veto

10 Sept 20:04 Key points summarised by AI

The UN Security Council is poised to vote on an Algerian-drafted resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, despite the strong likelihood of a third US veto.
The United States plans to veto the resolution, arguing it would undermine ongoing delicate diplomatic negotiations aimed at securing the release of hostages.
The US has circulated its own alternative draft, which proposes a 'temporary ceasefire in Gaza as soon as practicable' contingent on the release of all hostages, and expresses concern over a major ground offensive in Rafah.
International criticism, particularly from Russia and China, highlights the US's potential veto as a hindrance to peace and accuses it of applying double standards regarding civilian suffering.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
