The United Arab Emirates has formally petitioned the United Nations Security Council for an immediate convening, citing heightened concerns arising from Israel’s recent expansion of ground operations in Gaza and the disconnection of vital telecommunications networks. Diplomatic sources suggest that the 15-member council could assemble as early as the upcoming Sunday.
Moreover, the UAE has called for an informative session, during which U.N. aid chief Martin Griffiths and Philippe Lazzarini, the director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), would be invited to provide insights and updates.
