The United Nations has announced that it will convene a Security Council meeting to discuss Middle East developments.
According to Al Jazeera, the meeting was placed on the agenda following a formal request submitted by Bahrain.
The report noted that the session has been scheduled for Thursday afternoon, US Eastern Time.
While the United Nations has not officially confirmed speakers, Jasem Mohamed Al-Budaiwi, Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, is slated to address the meeting.
An official from the UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs is also scheduled to brief council members on the regional situation.
The diplomatic move comes amid rising regional tensions fueled by clashes between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, as well as an ongoing impasse in Iran-US negotiations.
