The UN Security Council is set to hold a special meeting to discuss
the spate of violence between Israelis and Palestinians in which 39
people have been killed over the past two weeks.
The meeting, which diplomats said was called at the request of
council member Jordan, will include a briefing from the UN secretariat
on the situation on the ground and will take place at 15:00 GMT, the UN
said on Thursday.
The UN meeting comes as Israel deploys more troops to the border with
Gaza, where the ruling Palestinian group Hamas has called for Day of
Rage demonstrations on Friday.
Al Jazeera’s correspondent reported that Israeli forces have
prevented men under the age of 40 from praying in al-Aqsa Mosque in
Jerusalem as part of a bid to preclude Palestinian protests.
