UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council agreed on a statement Sunday calling for “an immediate and unconditional humanitarian cease-fire” in the Gaza war between Israel and Hamas and scheduled a meeting at midnight to adopt it.

The council will be meeting as Muslims start celebrating the Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. Its agreement to press for a cease-fire follows new attacks launched by Israel and Hamas despite going back and forth over proposals for another temporary halt to nearly three weeks of fighting.
