UN Mideast envoy calls on Security Council for Israel action
The UN's top Mideast envoy is challenging the Security Council to step up and lead the way to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Robert Serry in his final briefing to the council on Thursday said the international community should seriously consider presenting a framework for negotiations that "may be the only way to preserve the goal of a two-state solution."
He also sharply criticized Israel's illegal settlement building, saying it "may kill the very possibility of reaching peace on the paradigm of two states for two peoples."
