An-Najah News - The United Nations Security Council will be convene  on June 24 at the level of the foreign ministers to discuss Israel’s plan to annex parts of the occupied West Bank, said the permanent observer of Palestine to the United Nations Riyad Mansour.

Mansour said to Palestine official radio that invitations for the meeting were sent out to the foreign ministers of many countries, including the member states of the Non-Aligned Movement and the Arab League, adding that the meeting will most likely be attended by Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres.   

He expressed his hope that the UNSC will shoulder its responsibilities and demand the Israeli government to halt all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian Territory and not to go ahead with the annexation plan.

Mansour said talks are underway and efforts are currently being exerted to push for the formation of an international coalition to thwart the US-backed Israeli annexation plan.
