Algeria calls for an emergency Security Council meeting on Palestine

New York (United Nations) – Algeria called on Monday for an emergency meeting of the Security Council to discuss the latest developments in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in light of the Zionist occupation forces’ escalation of their operations in the West Bank and the continued genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in coordination with the mission of the State of Palestine At the United Nations in New York.

This meeting, which is expected to be scheduled by the Slovenian Presidency of the Security Council before the end of the week, comes in light of the continuation of the brutal security campaign against the West Bank, which has claimed the lives of nearly 700 civilians, including more than 150 children, since last October, and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in Infrastructural damage as the occupation forces continued their crimes against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which raised the death toll to approximately 41,000 martyrs.

It is expected that this meeting will allow the members of the Security Council to confirm their support for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and renew their commitment to the principle of the two-state solution as the only way to achieve lasting and just peace in the Middle East, and their opposition to the approach of the Zionist occupation authorities aimed at undermining any hope for establishing a Palestinian state and denying the historical rights of the Palestinian people.
