The UN Security Council, following a closed meeting, did not adopt any statement on the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone. However, all members of the Security Council condemned the Hamas attack on Israel, said Permanent Representative of Malta Vanessa Fraser.

According to her, none of the countries proposed a draft statement.

Earlier, Russian permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya told reporters that during the meeting he called for a ceasefire and a transition to substantive negotiations.

According to UAE Permanent Representative Lana Zaki Nuseibah, UN Special Coordinator Thor Wennesland made a report on the situation in the conflict zone. She stressed that all Security Council members should use both international and bilateral channels to call for a ceasefire.
