On Wednesday, in a press conference, surrounded by various Arab ambassadors to the UN, Permanent Observer of Palestine at the UN Riyad Mansour said that Algeria, the non-permanent member representing Arab countries on the UNSC, would decide on the appropriate time to submit a blue text to the Security Council for a vote.

Mansour added that the Arab Group is engaged in discussions with the US representative at the UNSC given that Washington has opposed or vetoed all previous efforts to push a resolution in the Security Council to impose an immediate ceasefire on Israel.
