Slovenia says UN Security Council’s patience running out for Gaza ceasefire

September 4, 2024 - 1:58

Slovenia’s UN envoy, the president of the UN Security Council for September, says the 15-member body could consider taking action if a ceasefire is not reached soon in Gaza.

“I think the patience is out,” Ambassador Samuel Zbogar told reporters. “Either there is a ceasefire or the council then reflects on what else we can do to bring the ceasefire.

“There are many tools that the council has at its disposal,” Zbogar added, noting that it had been waiting for three months for a US-sponsored ceasefire resolution to be implemented.
