UN Security Council to hold emergency meeting on Syria
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on the Syrian crisis Tuesday night at 8.00 pm GMT (11.00 pm Israel time).
The announcement came hours after US President Barack Obama lent his support for discussions at the UN on a proposal from Russia to secure Syria’s chemical weapons stockpiles.
Obama discussed the proposal Tuesday with French President Francois Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron.
France floated a resolution in the UN Security Council aimed at forcing Syria to make public its chemical weapons program, place it under international control and dismantle it — Russia called the draft “unacceptable.”
