British envoy not expecting anything specific out of Security Council meeting
British Ambassador to the UN Matthew Rycroft says he is not expecting “anything specific” to come out of the UN Security Council meeting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Speaking to reporters, he says the UK “remains committed to a two-state solution” and is looking forward to see the peace plan being drafted by the US.
He devotes most of his time to addressing the Syrian regime bombing of Eastern Ghouta, calling it “a zone of death and destruction” and urging the council to adopt a resolution to bring relief to the Syrian rebel area.
