Israel to Skip UN Security Council Gaza Meeting

The United Nations Security Council meeting on Gaza was set during Rosh Hashanah amid efforts by Arab and European nations to advance Palestinian state recognition.

  • The United Nations Security Council arranged an important session on the conflict in Gaza for Tuesday afternoon, coinciding with the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah.
  • This meeting's timing resulted from pressure by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, aiming to sideline Israeli officials who observe the holiday.
  • Israel will skip the meeting, condemning it as a deliberate act of exclusion that silences Jewish voices amid discussions affecting the world's only Jewish state.
  • Israeli spokesman Jonathan Harounoff condemned symbolic actions by the international community, stating that political posturing regarding the Palestinian state complicates Israel’s efforts to negotiate the release of hostages.
  • The meeting and related UN events reflect ongoing tensions at the UN, with Israel denouncing the agenda as delegitimizing and the scheduling seen as a message that Jewish participation does not matter.
