UN envoy says working with Egypt to broker Israel-Gaza calm
The UN envoy to the Middle East Nickolay Mladenov says the UN is working with Egypt to “provide calm for the region, with the understanding that this is what will prevent the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.”
Addressing a conference at the Institute for National Security Studies, Mladenov warns that the collapse of UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees will destabilize the region and “won’t help Israel.”
