Russia Plans To Call a UNSC Meeting on the Children of Gaza

In his comments at a Jan. 3 UN Security Council (UNSC) briefing on the situation in the Middle East, Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Vassily Nebenzia made note of the remarks of Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, Medical Practitioner at Medical Aid for Palestinians, for her “heart-pounding testimony and for her courageous and frank account, which described, inter alia, the horror endured by medical personnel and patients, including children of Gaza. We are planning to request a separate UNSC meeting on this very topic—the children of Gaza, whereas our Western colleagues, unfortunately, prefer to ignore this issue, promoting instead more advantageous (for them) narratives.”
