The UN Security Council will hold an urgent session today, Sunday, to discuss Israel’s plan to occupy the Gaza Strip, which was met with international rejection and condemnation.
The United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Greece and Slovenia applied to hold the emergency meeting to consider the Israeli plan that the mini security council (Cabinet) was believed at dawn on Friday, then Russia, China, Somalia, Algeria, Pakistan, Joyana, South Korea and Sierra Leone expressed its support for the urgent meeting, according to diplomatic sources that spoke to the island.
Thus, all countries in the UN Security Council have requested the holding of the session or supported the request, with the exception of the United States that does not want to hold the meeting.
The session was scheduled to be held on Saturday, and it was postponed to start today from ten in the morning local time (14 pm GMT).
Western and Arab countries and international organizations have expressed their condemnation of the Israeli plan and considered it a violation of international law, and Israel demanded to retreat from it and work to reach a ceasefire agreement, release the detainees, and deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
It is noteworthy that the new Israeli plan stipulates the start of the occupation army to move towards areas that it had not been previously entered, with the aim of controlling it, and starts from the displacement of the Palestinians of Gaza City to the south, and the surrounding of the city, and then the implementation of additional incursions into the centers of residential gatherings, according to the official Hebrew Broadcasting Authority.
According to the United Nations data, 87% of the area of the stricken Palestinian sector is already today under the Israeli occupation or subject to evacuation orders, warning that any new military expansion will have catastrophic repercussions.
