Jordan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Mahmoud Daifallah Hmoud, called for bringing perpetrators of the attack on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza to justice.

Speaking to reporters before the UN Security Council yesterday, Hmoud said, "Military and political officials in Israel enjoy immunity and this must change immediately."

Hmoud, along with a number of Arab ambassadors to the United Nations, urged the UN Security Council to call for an unconditional halt to the aggression against Gaza, to bring in aid, and to prevent the displacement of Palestinians from their homeland, which is a hidden intention of the occupation forces.

In addition, the United Arab Emirates called on the Security Council to hold an emergency session on Wednesday morning to discuss the situation in Gaza.
