Algeria has requested an urgent open UN Security Council session on Tuesday to discuss the Israeli attack on a school sheltering displaced people in Gaza City, Anadolu reports.

Algeria’s request, as a non-permanent member of the Security Council, for the emergency meeting comes “in response to the recent serious developments in the occupied Palestinian territories, especially after the airstrike carried out by the Zionist occupation army on the Al-Tabin school,” the official Algerian news agency reported, citing an unnamed diplomatic source in New York.

It said the “request was made in consultation with the State of Palestine” and “is supported by other member states of the Security Council.” These other states have not been specified.
