The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting today after Hamas said its political leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed by an Israeli strike on Iran’s capital, the Russian presidency of the council says.

The meeting, requested by Iran and supported by representatives of Russia, China and Algeria, is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. New York time (11 p.m. Israel time), says a spokesman for the Russian presidency, which holds the rotating leadership of the council.
