Watch: Palestine and Israel Address Emergency UN Meeting
Riyad Mansour and Jonathan Miller unite at New York meeting
Riyad Mansour, Permanent Observer of Palestine to the UN, and Jonathan Miller, Deputy Permanent Representative for Israel to the UN, addressed an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council in New York, calling for action and peace.
Mansour warned that the current situation was not being addressed by statements of support, and Miller accused some members of the UNSC of hypocrisy, emphasising the need to focus on dismantling Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended his government's plan to take over Gaza City, which he claimed was the best way to end the war.
What's Next?
The emergency UNSC meeting highlights the global concern over the ongoing conflict. It remains to be seen whether the speakers' calls for action will have the intended result.
