According to diplomats, the 193-member United Nations General assembly will vote on a draft resolution requesting an urgent humanitarian truce in the war between israel and Palestinian terrorists Hamas in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday. The decision comes after the united states vetoed a U.N. Security Council proposal for an emergency humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza on Friday. 

The United Nations General assembly passed a resolution in October, with 121 votes in favor, 14 against, and 44 abstentions, asking for "an immediate, durable, and sustained humanitarian truce leading to a cessation of hostilities." On Sunday, Israeli tanks fought their way into the heart of Khan Younis, the biggest city of the southern Gaza Strip, while health officials in Hamas-run Gaza reported around 18,000 Palestinians had been killed in the conflict.

Israeli commanders claimed that scores of Hamas members had surrendered, pushing others to do the same, but the Palestinian militant organization refuted the assertion, calling it "false and baseless." Residents of Khan Younis reported tanks had reached the city's major north-south thoroughfare following a night of fierce fighting that had stalled Israel's assault from the east. Warplanes bombarded the region west of the attack. The air shook with the steady thud of explosions, and thick columns of white smoke rose above the densely populated metropolis, which was filled with individuals evacuated from other parts of the enclave.
