Russia inte\u00adnds to hold another UN Security Council meeting on the situation in Gaza, the country\u2019s deputy UN envoy said on Saturday. Russia convened a meeting on the issue on Monday, but its resolution failed due to opposition from four council members, including the US. Washington criticised its draft for not mentioning Hamas. \u201cWe will definitely convene a new meeting of the Security Council. As practice has shown, no one but us dares to do so,\u201d Russia\u2019s deputy permanent representative to the UN Dmitry Polyansky said. He did not say when Russia, one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, would hold the meeting. \u201cRegarding a resolution, I don\u2019t know how fast we\u2019ll get to the next stage of trying to pass a resolution,\u201d he added. He was speaking in an interview on the Solovyov Live TV channel. Russia has repeatedly called for talks on ending the hostilities, which threaten to undermine its growing ties with Iran and complicated its relations with Israel. President Vladimir Put\u00adin spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netan\u00adyahu as well as Iranian and Arab leaders earlier this week in the hope of launching peace talks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
