UN General Assembly To Meet Over Israel-Hamas War On Thursday

United Nations, (APP – UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 24th Oct, 2023) The UN General Assembly will meet Thursday to discuss the conflict triggered by the attack by Hamas freedom fighters on Israel, the body’s president announced in a letter to member states.

The Security Council has so far failed to agree on a resolution concerning the war, but a number of states — including Jordan on behalf of an Arab group of nations, Russia, Syria, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Cambodia — formally requested General Assembly President Dennis Francis to schedule the meeting.

Last week, the UN Security Council, regularly divided on the Israeli-Palestinian issue, rejected a Russian draft resolution calling for a “humanitarian pause.”
