Excellent coverage from Anne Bayefsky and Benjamin Weinthal indicated on Monday 18 November that elected members of the UN Security Council (i.e., the rotating elected members, not any of the Permanent 5) are working on a UN Security Council Resolution to be voted on as early as Tuesday 19 November that seeks to impose an immediate ceasefire on Israel, and box in the incoming Trump administration regarding its options for future policy.

As things stand, the only mistake Netanyahu can make is to fall behind the Israeli public.
