UNITED NATIONS, Jan 8 (Reuters) - The United States, Britain and France have dropped objections to a binding U.N. resolution on the Gaza crisis and are working on one that calls for an "immediate ceasefire," diplomats said on Thursday. "We are looking at a resolution which would include a call for an immediate ceasefire, action to stop smuggling of arms (to Hamas militants) and open the border crossings," a Western diplomatic source said.
