UN Human Rights body to consider resolution calling for an arms embargo on Israel
THE United Nations Human Rights Council announced today that it was set to consider a draft resolution calling for an arms embargo on Israel.
If Friday’s debate approves the draft resolution it would mark the first time the UN’s top rights body has taken a position on the war raging in Gaza.
This comes as the UN’s top health official called for Israel to provide more aid access to the besieged territory.
