Lana Zaki Nusseibeh, the UAE’s ambassador to the UN, has voiced hope for a resolution calling for the suspension of hostilities in Gaza to pass at the Security Council, Al Jazeera reports.

“I am optimistic, and if this fails then we will continue to keep trying because we have to keep trying,” Nusseibeh told reporters.

“There is too much suffering on the ground for the council to continue to fail on this .. we have a resolution and we need to build on that,” she added.
