Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
The UN Security Council will hold another emergency meeting tomorrow to discuss the latest developments in the Israel-Hamas war.
“In light of the worsening situation in Gaza and the attack on the Al-Shifa Hospital and repeated attacks on Jabalia refugee camp, the UAE and China called for closed consultations to be convened tomorrow 6 November at 3 p.m.,” a spokesperson for the UAE’s mission to the UN tweets.
Divisions in the Security Council have prevented the body from doing more than holding meetings to talk about the war.
Several resolutions calling for “humanitarian pauses” have failed to receive the necessary votes in order to pass.
