Kuwait, Bolivia Ask U.N. Security Council to Discuss Gaza on Tuesday
Kuwait and Bolivia asked the United Nations Security Council to meet behind closed-doors on Tuesday over the latest violence in Gaza, diplomats said.
The announcement was made after reports that Israel and Hamas had reached a renewed ceasefire agreement brokered by Egypt on Tuesday evening.
