UNSC meeting on Israeli-Palestinian conflict

The United Nations Security Council will hold a meeting focusing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This meeting takes place during the annual UN General Assembly (UNGA) High-Level Week, making it particularly significant. World leaders are already in New York, often leading to high-level participation and increased diplomatic pressure on the conflict.

Some of the issues worth a dialogue include the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and a political pathway. Given the recent severity of the conflict and the devastating situation in Gaza, the urgent need for a permanent ceasefire and unhindered access to humanitarian aid will dominate the discussion. Members will likely express strong concern over continued Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank and the rising level of violence in that territory.
