Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has called for an emergency session of the UN Security Council to address what the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has described as a 'gruesome massacre' by Israel during a rescue operation in the Nuseirat camp.
The ministry's statement reported that the Israeli assault resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians and left many others wounded. President Abbas is actively engaging with various Arab and international parties to convene this urgent session of the UN Security Council.
