UN Security Council to meet again on Friday to deliberate Israel-Hamas war

The UN Security Council will hold another emergency meeting on Friday to discuss the Israel-Hamas war.
No resolution is expected to come out of the meeting as the top UN body remains divided, with the US making clear that it will veto drafts calling for a ceasefire, which it says will benefit Hamas and therefore cannot support.
Tomorrow’s session will focus on “the spiraling health crisis amidst continued attacks on hospitals,” says a spokesperson for the UAE’s Mission to the UN, which called the meeting along with France.
Members will be briefed by World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
