Middle East, including the Palestinian Question
-
On 2 July, the Security Council expects to receive a briefing from Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator (SHRC) for Gaza, Sigrid Kaag. In July, the Security Council also expects to hold its quarterly open debate on “The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question”. Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland is the anticipated briefer. It appears that Russia, July’s Council president, has elected to hold the open debate at ministerial level. Council members may convene additional meetings during the month depending on developments.
