Algeria requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Wednesday regarding the situation in Palestine. The meeting is expected to be held tomorrow, Thursday.

This comes as Israel continues its aggression in the Gaza Strip and continues its military aggression in the occupied West Bank.

The official Algerian News Agency reported: "Algeria requested, on Wednesday, an emergency meeting of the Security Council on the situation in Palestine, and the session is expected to be held tomorrow afternoon, Thursday."

She attributed the request to "the dangerous Israeli escalation in the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in Gaza, which has been under siege for more than a month, accompanied by indiscriminate killings, including of aid workers."

She continued: "This also comes after the announcement that the bodies of 15 emergency and relief workers from the Palestinian Red Crescent, Palestinian Civil Defense, and the United Nations were found in Gaza."

The Algerian request also comes "after the unprecedented surge in violence by settlers in the West Bank."
