The UN Security Council will hold emergency consultations on the situation in Gaza after Israeli soldiers reportedly killed 15 Palestinian protesters along the border fence.
"At the request of #Kuwait, the @UN Security Council will meet at 6.30 p.m. in informal consultations... to discuss the latest developments in #Gaza," the Kuwaiti mission to the United Nations tweeted on Friday, which is a UN holiday.
Delegations of two other Security Council members -- France and the Netherlands -- also tweeted the news.
The official UN alert to journalists says it will be a closed-door meeting.
