On Sunday, August 10, the United Nations Security Council will convene to discuss Israel's latest Gaza offensive. The move comes after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet approved a plan for the military to take control of Gaza City, intensifying a 22-month-long conflict in the region.
Netanyahu has signaled he will not back down, setting the stage for a high-stakes debate among global diplomats. Observers say the Council could weigh options to address rising tensions, humanitarian access, and long-term stability.
For residents on the ground, the prospect of expanded military operations raises urgent questions about civilian safety and humanitarian support. Aid agencies are expected to press for measures that protect vulnerable populations caught in the crossfire.
As the world watches, this Security Council session may prove a pivotal moment in efforts to seek de-escalation or chart a path toward renewed negotiations. Karina Mitchell reports.
