    Is this a rerun of the vote where Russia and China vetoed last week?

      No. That vote was on the US’ draft of a ceasefire resolution. China and Russia blocked it.

      Now the US is getting out of the way for a different, non US drafted, version of a ceasefire resolution to pass.

      We’d need the texts of all the different resolutions the SC has attempted on this issue to say what changed where at whose request, but the article makes it look this is closer to a rerun of resolutions the US vetoed weeks ago

      The UN Security Council has called for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza, after the US did not veto the measure in a shift from its previous position

        Wording related to the release of all the hostages was added, hence why the US didn’t veto:

        The UN Security Council on Monday passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan, the immediate and unconditional release of hostages and “the urgent need to expand the flow” of aid into Gaza.

        Emphasis mine.
