SHAFAQNA- For the fourth time in eight days, the Security Council on Tuesday failed to issue a joint statement on the escalation of the conflict between the Israeli regime and the Palestinians. The United States, meanwhile, insists the statement cannot contain the crisis.
The Security Council convened a new meeting on Tuesday to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the fourth in eight days, but the Security Council failed to issue a joint statement.
“We do not believe that a public statement at this time can help contain the crisis,” a diplomat stated from the US envoy.
Diplomatic sources said China, Norway and Tunisia, which drafted the new statement and had been trying to convene a Security Council meeting for more than a week, had not previously shown the text to Security Council members. As of May 10, Washington has opposed three drafts calling for an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
