CAIRO — Attempts by Arab countries to oppose Israel's candidacy for a nonpermanent seat at the UN Security Council have not gone unnoticed in the Arab League and Arab foreign ministers’ meetings.
The council — tasked with maintaining international peace and security — has five seats for permanent members and 10 for temporary ones. Five of the latter will be opening up next year. While the elections aren’t until June, those interested in snagging a spot have already started campaigning and outreach. This will be the first time Israel seeks a seat.
