United Nations General Assembly Meets To Discuss War In Middle East

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 28: Palestinian Permanent Observer to the United Nations Riyad H. Mansour speaks during the General Assembly 39th plenary meeting at the United Nations headquarters on November 28, 2023 in New York City. Members of the General Assembly held a meeting to debate and vote on a draft resolution on the Israel-Hamas war a day after the President of the 78th session of the General Assembly Dennis Francis called for a permanent pause in the war, for all hostages to be freed and for humanitarian aid to be delivered to Palestinians in Gaza. The meeting comes as the initial four day truce between Israel and Hamas was extended by two days, pausing the seven weeks of warfare that has killed thousands in Gaza as a result of the October 7th Hamas attack in Israel.
