US EditionIsrael to Skip UN Security Council Gaza Meeting
The United Nations Security Council meeting on Gaza was set during Rosh Hashanah amid efforts by Arab and European nations to advance Palestinian state recognition.
- On September 22, 2025, the United Nations Security Council scheduled a Gaza meeting for Tuesday afternoon amid Rosh Hashanah, which spans sundown Monday through Wednesday night.
- At the urging of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation the session was timed, with Algeria pushing aggressively for it to fall during Rosh Hashanah amid Arab states and Western allies' recognition efforts.
- Danny Danon told the rotating council president Israel will not participate because the meeting coincides with Rosh Hashanah and Israel had asked to reschedule.
- Recognition by those Western members intersects with Security Council authority as the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia jointly recognized 'Palestine' on Sunday, requiring approval for full U.N. membership.
- Critics and former diplomats said the timing amounts to 'outright anti‑Semitism' and called it a deliberate exclusion of Jews observing Rosh Hashanah, highlighting United Nations institutional bias.
