United Nations: The UN Security Council has held a high-level emergency meeting as international pressure mounts for an end to the 11-day Israeli offensive in Gaza.
At Tuesday's four-hour council meeting, virtually every Arab speaker denounced the Security Council's failure to adopt a legally binding resolution to stop the Israeli offensive and demand a durable cease-fire.
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al Faisal said the council's "deafening silence" placed "a big question mark" over its credibility "and the entire system of international security."
The Security Council scheduled another meeting for Wednesday morning, which many foreign ministers are expected to attend to try to reach consensus on a resolution.
