UN Security Council fails to agree on Gaza statement
AFP - Sunday, January 4
UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - - The UN Security Council ended its meeting without reaching an agreement on a statement on the situation in the Gaza Strip, the French ambassador said.
The ambassador, Jean-Maurice Ripert who presides in the council this month, said members of the body could not agree on a statement that would call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
"There was no formal agreement between member states but I have noted strong convergencies about our concern at the escalation of violence and the deterioration of the situation and strong convergencies on our call for an immediate, durable and respected ceasefire," Ripert told reporters after the meeting.
A draft statement submitted earlier for the council's consideration by Libya had expressed "serious concern" about the ground invasion and called on the parties "to observe an immediate ceasefire and for its full respect".
