UN Security Council to discuss Gaza hostages after 6 captives ‘summarily executed’

[Claira]

The United Nations Security Council is slated to discuss on Wednesday the hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza as well as the overall conflict, following the murders of six Israeli hostages by their Hamas captors over the weekend.

However, even routine bureaucratic questions about the meeting are already sparking disagreements between UN members.

Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon wrote on X early Tuesday that, “following my urgent request, the UN Security Council will finally convene on Wednesday for the first time since the October 7 massacre to hold an official discussion on the hostages.”

“It is sad that it took the council 11 months to do this, and only after the barbaric, cold-blooded murder of six hostages by Hamas terrorists,” Danon wrote, thanking the representatives of the US, Britain and France for facilitating the meeting.

The United Nations Security Council on Wednesday heard of the chilling effects of captivity on Israeli child hostages held by the Hamas terror group in Gaza in a meeting requested by Israel and its allies.

The discussion was convened at the request of Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon along with ambassadors of the United States, United Kingdom, and France after the murder by Hamas of six Israeli hostages late last week. Their bodies were recovered on Saturday, and autopsies revealed they had been killed a day or two earlier.

I expect they’ll shout at Israel for either not acting fast enough or not stopping their “police action” sooner.
