backed roadmap peace plan. The draft, endorsed earlier today by Arab nations, condemns "the broad military incursion and attacks by the Israeli occupying forces in the area of northern Gaza Strip, including in and around the Jabiliya refugee camp, resulting in extensive human casualties and destruction and exacerbating the dire humanitarian situation." The draft also "demands the immediate cessation of all military operations in the area of northern Gaza and the withdrawal of the Israeli occupying forces from that area." It reiterates the Security Council's call to a halt to all violence and adherence to international humanitarian law.
