The UN Security Council is set to vote later today on the next phase of the Trump peace plan.

The second stage, which is due to commence upon the release of the last three hostage bodies, is expected to involve a further withdrawal of IDF troops, conditional upon the disarmament of Hamas.

The resolution before the council would also establish the International Stabilisation Force (ISF), a peacekeeping unit drawing its members from several participating nations.

Washington has called for full backing for the resolution, especially from veto holders China and Russia, warning of a "real human cost" if it is defeated.
