Algeria Pushes for UN Resolution to Halt Rafah Violence

Algeria aims to introduce a decisive and short United Nations Security Council resolution to end the violence in Rafah. Ambassador Amar Bendjama announced this initiative following a closed-door meeting with the council about the situation in the Gaza Strip.

Algeria will propose on Tuesday a draft United Nations Security Council resolution to "stop the killing in Rafah," Algeria's U.N. Ambassador Amar Bendjama told reporters after a closed-door meeting of the 15-member body on the Gaza Strip.

"Algeria will circulate this afternoon a draft resolution on Rafah," Bendjama said. "It will be a short text, a decisive text, to stop the killing in Rafah."
