The United Nations Security Council convened an emergency session on August 10, 2025, to address Israel's plan to reoccupy Gaza City. This plan, approved by the Israeli security cabinet on August 8, has faced widespread condemnation both domestically and internationally. The Security Council urged Israel to reverse its decision, emphasizing that the move undermines the prospects for a two-state solution. The UN spokesperson highlighted that the latest Israeli settlement plans violate international law and called for their immediate cessation. The British Foreign Secretary also expressed strong opposition to the new Israeli settlement plans, describing them as a blatant violation of international law that would divide the future Palestinian state. The emergency meeting focused on the broader situation in the Middle East, particularly the Palestinian question, with multiple countries initiating the session to discuss the implications of Israel's military and settlement actions in Gaza.
