New York, October 23, 2025 – The United Nations Security Council is holding a significant open debate today concerning the situation in the Middle East, with a particular focus on the Palestinian question.
The meeting, classified as a signature event under the Russian Federation’s presidency of the Council for this month, will commence with a briefing from Ramiz Alakbarov, the Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process.
This session is part of the Security Council’s quarterly discussions on the Palestinian issue, taking place against a backdrop of persistent tensions in Gaza and the West Bank.
DZWatch sources indicate that member states are expected to address a range of pressing issues, including the ongoing humanitarian crisis, the stalled peace negotiations, and the recent escalation of violence in the region.

The outcome of this meeting remains uncertain, but it underscores the international community’s continued concern about the situation in the Middle East and the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian issue.
