Stalemate Scuttles Gaza Statement
By REUTERS
The Security Council abandoned efforts to adopt a statement on the crisis in Gaza after Libya and the United States were unable to agree on the wording. The 15-nation Council began talks on a nonbinding statement a week ago after Israel sealed all border crossings to the Gaza Strip, complicating delivery of aid to Gaza’s 1.5 million people in what Israel said was a response to Palestinian rocket attacks from Gaza. Diplomats said the deadlock was a result of irreconcilable Libyan and American demands on the statement’s content and phrasing.
