China, UAE request UN Security Council meeting on Middle East for Nov 6

UNITED NATIONS, Nov 6, 2023 (BSS/TASS) - China and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have requested a closed-door meeting of the UN Security Council on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict for Monday, a diplomatic source told TASS.

"China and the UAE have requested a meeting for Monday at 15:00 (8:00 p.m. - TASS)," the source said. The UN Security Council will discuss, in particular, the strikes on the Palestinian refugee camp Jabalia in the north of the Gaza Strip and a convoy of ambulances near the central Al-Shifa Hospital.

Last month, the UN Security Council failed to adopt any of the four draft resolutions on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The ten non-permanent members of the UN Security Council are currently drafting their own document, which is expected to incorporate provisions from previous draft resolutions.
