Danny Danon, Israel’s envoy to the UN, said the Security Council will convene a meeting on Wednesday to hold an official discussion on Israeli captives for the first time, Al Jazeera reports.

“It is a disgrace that it has taken the Council 11 months and the brutal execution of six hostages by Hamas terrorists to finally convene this discussion,” he wrote in a post on X.

Danon said the UNSC should unequivocally condemn Hamas’s actions and “demand the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages”.
