| UN Security Council to hold urgent meeting on Gaza conflict |
| 2009-01-02 |
| (Xinhua) -- The UN Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Wednesday evening to discuss the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Gaza Strip, the UN Spokesperson's Office announced. The Council meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. EST (23:00 GMT) on Wednesday, and will focus on the Gaza conflict and the current situation in the Middle East, the UN announcement said. It will be the second emergency Council meeting since early Sunday. After the previous meeting, the Council issued a statement that called for an immediate end to the violence and bloodshed in Gaza. The announcement came as UN Secretary-general Ban Ki-moon intensified his diplomatic efforts toward a ceasefire after other UN officials voiced their disappointment that Israel has so far rejected the idea of a 48-hour lull. |

| #5 "We must schedule the meeting now! Do you have any idea how long it takes to prepare Beef Wellington for 100?! Don't even get me started on the horseradish and wine finished potato cubettes with garlic butter with fresh dill and chive. I know the side dish is illegal over there, thats why the meeting will be in Switzerland, do I have to think of everything? Didn't even consider having fondue did you? You're Fired." |

| #4 I am trying to remember the un "urgent meeting" to discuss Hamass firing unguided rockets into Israel. I know that this must have happened at least during the thousands of rockets fired by paleos. Oh wait I am awake now. Sorry for the confusion, but I had a dream that the un was actually relevant. |
