TEHRAN, Oct. 09 (MNA) – The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has met behind closed doors in an emergency session amid the war between the Israeli regime and Gaza but failed to achieve the unanimity needed for a joint statement.

The UN Security Council did not adopt any statement on the recent escalation of tensions between Palestine and the Israeli regime, Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia told reporters on Sunday.

Permanent Representative of Malta to the UN Vanessa Frazier, in turn, said that none of the states proposed a draft statement, sputnik reported.

UAE Permanent Representative to the UN Lana Zaki Nusseibeh added that UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland made a report on the situation in the conflict zone.

Hamas Resistance movement launched the large-scale operation on Saturday with a heavy barrage of rockets in response to the Israeli regime’s desecration of al-Aqsa Mosque and increased settler violence.

Both sides report hundreds of dead and thousands of injured as a result of the escalation of the conflict.
