"The Security Council" holds an emergency meeting on Sunday regarding Gaza.

The United Nations Security Council is holding an emergency meeting on Sunday regarding the situation in the besieged Gaza Strip, following the announcement by the occupying state of a plan to take control of the city, according to diplomatic sources.

The decision to hold the emergency meeting came at the request of several member states of the Security Council, reflecting the growing international concern over the new Israeli escalation against the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian mission to the United Nations welcomed the decision to hold the emergency meeting, considering it an important step to confront the escalating Israeli aggression against the occupied Palestinian territories.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned the occupying state, through a spokesperson, about the serious escalation that could exacerbate the catastrophic consequences faced by millions of Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The decision by Benjamin Netanyahu to issue orders for the occupying army to take control of Gaza City has sparked widespread anger around the world, as international circles view it as a serious escalation that threatens further suffering for the Palestinian people.

Guterres warned that this Israeli action could lead to further forced displacement, killing, and widespread destruction, exacerbating the unimaginable suffering of Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The emergency meeting of the Security Council comes amid the escalation of Israeli aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip, which is experiencing catastrophic humanitarian conditions due to the blockade imposed for many years.

Member states of the Security Council are seeking through this emergency meeting to find effective international mechanisms to stop the Israeli aggression and protect the Palestinian people from further suffering and destruction.
