NEW YORK — After the US blocked a joint statement from the Security Council calling for a ceasefire, the top UN body will convene yet again on Tuesday, for its fourth meeting in eight days, Norway’s Mission to the UN announces.
The emergency session will be closed, as the first two were.
#NorwayUNSC , Tunisia & China will once again raise the #MiddleEast crisis on the ???????? #SecurityCouncil agenda tomorrow/Tuesday.
The situation on the ground continues to deteriorate. Innocent civilians continue being killed&injured.
We repeat: Stop the fire. End hostilities now. pic.twitter.com/mBp86DRahH
