The United Nations General Assembly will hold an emergency session in New York today at 10 a.m. ET, 5 p.m. Israel time to discuss the Gaza conflict.
The session, called “Illegal Israeli actions in Occupied Jerusalem and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory” was called by Jordan and Mauritania. It is the 39th time the “tenth emergency special session” has met on the issue.
The Jordanian/Mauritanian request to reconvene the session does not mention Hamas at all, or the attacks of October 7.
It does, however, stress the “siege and military aggression by Israel, the occupying Power, against the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip, that has, of this date, caused wanton destruction of homes and other civilian properties and infrastructure, and inflicted catastrophic humanitarian conditions, risking further dangerous destabilization of the situation, endangering more civilian lives and threatening international peace and security.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
