United Nations, January 06, SPA--Arab foreign ministers met at U.N.
headquarters in New York on Monday to draft a resolution seeking an
end to Israel’s 10-day offensive in the Gaza Strip.

representatives are hoping to draft a resolution that can be approved
by the Security Council.

The Council is scheduled to meet Tuesday and to vote on the
resolution, which will call for an end to “Israeli aggression against

[between Israel and Hamas], ending the siege and opening the
crossings between Gaza and Israel and also between Gaza and Egypt,”
said Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki.
