Jordan has indicated it will not seek a quick vote, allowing further talks and a possible bid to secure US support.
The US has vetoed previous resolutions it considers hostile to Israel.
The text of the draft says a negotiated solution should be based on several parameters including the borders that existed before the 1967 Six Day War, security agreements, and "Jerusalem as the shared capital of the two states".
It urges both parties "to abstain from any unilateral and illegal actions, including settlement activities, that could undermine the viability of a two-state solution".
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sought reassurances that the US - Israel's ally - would block any efforts to adopt the resolution.
Talks collapsed Earlier this week, US Secretary of State John Kerry met chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat in London over the proposed timetable.
Mr Kerry said the US had made "no determinations about language, approaches, specific resolutions, any of that".
Another draft resolution, being put together by France, would call for a return to talks on a final treaty with the aim of achieving a two-state solution to the conflict within two years.
It does not mention an Israeli withdrawal, but does lay out some of the parameters of a permanent peace deal.
Direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians brokered by the US collapsed in April.
A previous draft of a Palestinian proposal that was circulated informally to the security council in October called for an end to Israeli occupation of Palestinian land by November 2016. However, the US and others found the text unacceptable.
