The UN Security Council is scheduled to meet today and discuss Israel’s massive operation in Gaza as well as the dire humanitarian situation on the ground.
The meeting was requested by the United Arab Emirates, which is reportedly working on a new resolution on the Israel-Hamas war.
The UNSC has previously rejected four draft resolutions – one vetoed by the US, one by Russia and China, and two that failed to get the minimum nine “yes” votes.
On Friday, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution by 120-14 votes with 45 abstentions, calling for humanitarian truces leading to a cessation of hostilities.
It is worth noting that while UN General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding, Security Council resolutions are.
