New York - Saba:
An emergency session of the UN Security Council convened Sunday evening to address Israel’s decision to expand its military offensive in Gaza, following the Israeli security cabinet’s approval of the plan on Friday.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the move as a "dangerous escalation" in the 22-month war on Gaza. The session—requested by European Council members Denmark, France, Greece, Slovenia, and the UK—saw unanimous support for the motion among member states except the United States, according to Security Council Report.
The proposed military operation has sparked global outrage, with fears of further civilian casualties in the besieged enclave.
