UN warns Middle East situation rapidly deteriorating as West Bank tensions escalate

The UN Security Council’s quarterly Middle East debate heard warnings that conditions in the occupied West Bank are rapidly deteriorating, with Ramiz Alakbarov cautioning a wider escalation is increasingly likely without immediate steps.

Palestinian envoy Riyad Mansour urged the disarming of Israeli settlers, while the UN secretary-general’s office called for all settler attacks to be prevented.

Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo reports from New York.
