Negotiations have been ongoing since the first vote was postponed at the UN Security Council in New York on Monday evening

A vote on a UN resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza has been postponed again.

Disagreement over the inspection of aid trucks, and wording around "suspension of hostilities" in Gaza are among the key points holding the US back from supporting the text.

Negotiations have been ongoing since the first vote was postponed at the UN Security Council in New York on Monday evening.

Israel's Ambassador to Ireland, Dana Erlich, says her country is clear on what it wants to see in the final document.

Meanwhile, The Israel Defence Forces have issued warnings to residents in towns and cities across Israel - after claims of rockets being launched from Gaza.

Local reporters suggest areas of in the centre of the country were targeted - and that some were intercepted above Tel Aviv.

Hamas's armed wing - al Quassam Brigades - has claimed responsibility - saying the city was its target.
