The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to meet Wednesday to discuss Libya’s request for an emergency session on a report that accused Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas of committing war crimes during Israel’s offensive in Gaza.
….
The Palestinian UN Mission issued a press release saying it affirmed full support for the Libyan request.
….
A senior Western diplomat told Haaretz that in principle, Libya could convene a General Assembly session on the Goldstone report, but that he thought that “Libya will hesitate to take such an initiative as long as the Palestinian Authority is not interested in such a UN session. Libya will appear ridiculous if the involved party doesn’t want a session, and it calls for one.”
