Sputnik reported on Friday, citing several UN sources, that another vote of the UN Security Council resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza is scheduled to take place on Saturday morning. 

"The vote on E7 draft is set for tomorrow 10:00 a.m.," the sources said.

The "E7" refers to non-permanent members of the Security Council, namely Algeria, Malta, Switzerland, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, and Guyana. They have prepared a draft resolution calling for a ceasefire in the embattled Strip.

This comes as the UN Security Council voted on a US-drafted resolution on Gaza. Those who vetoed the resolution included China and Russia. The rotating member Algeria voted against it. The vetoes were issued on the basis that the ceasefire call was deemed ineffective.

Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations Zhang Jun said that the call was laying preconditions for a ceasefire that will enable the continuation of the Gaza genocide.

Russia's envoy Vassily Nebenzia labelled the US resolution a "standard American deception" and said that Russia does not tolerate ceasefire calls that lead to nowhere.

"The purpose of the American decision is to buy time and its goal is politicized so that Israel can escape punishment," Nebenzia said.

Algeria's representative, on his part, lamented the rejection of a previous Algerian-drafted resolution.

Had the Council adopted Algeria's resolution in late February, it could have prevented the loss of thousands of innocent lives, Algeria's UN representative Amar Benjama said.

The International Court of Justice in January ordered that "Israel" takes measures to prevent acts of genocide. Despite this, the Israeli regime continues to orchestrate its genocidal campaign. 

As these events are unfolding, the genocide in Gaza is ongoing, with the Health Ministry reporting that the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces since October 7 has risen to 31,988, with 74,188 others injured. 

The latest war crime involves blowing up a specialized building that hosts a specialized medical unit in Al-Shifa Medical Complex in west Gaza.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that the IOF is still targeting any moving body in the complex, stressing that all communications are still cut off, rendering everyone inside the complex unreachable.
