UN General Assembly Convenes Emergency Session on Gaza Conflict

The UN General Assembly has convened an emergency special session on the ongoing Israel-Palestine crisis, with a vote on a Jordanian-backed draft resolution expected tomorrow. The session saw powerful appeals from the State of Palestine and Israel, as well as statements from other countries and organizations. The Arab Group, represented by Jordan, will table a draft resolution after the Security Council failed to do so. The session will continue on Friday with more speakers. The UN Assembly President called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and the opening of aid corridors.
