UNSC convenes as West Bank settler violence and Gaza plan stall threaten two-state solution

The UN Security Council met to address escalating West Bank settler violence and settlement expansion, alongside a stalled Gaza peace plan. The plan's remaining phases—Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal—remain unimplemented, and the legality of settlements under international law is contested. This meeting signals heightened diplomatic pressure but no immediate resolution, with risks of further destabilization.
