The UN Security Council will hold an emergency closed-door meeting on Sunday in New York at 3pm (7pm GMT) after Hamas launched an air, land and sea military operation against Israel.
The meeting was first called by current non-permanent Security Council member Malta, while the United Arab Emirates and Brazil later added their support.
