Don't despair or lose heart, Malta tells UN amid rising tensions in Middle East
Malta urges restraint at the UN Security Council amid escalating Middle East tensions and Israeli retaliatory strikes on Iran.
With rising tensions and intensifying conflicts in the Middle East and ongoing war in Ukraine, Malta told the UN Security Council that now is not the time to give up on peace. Foreign Affairs Minister Ian Borg stressed that such challenges must strengthen resolve, as Malta currently chairs the OSCE and the UN Security Council. Borg and Maltese diplomats have been urging warring countries and their allies to avoid retaliation and return to negotiations, warning that multilateral frameworks designed to prevent conflict and nurture lasting peace risk erosion. Malta has kept Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine at the top of its agenda and continues pushing for an end to hostilities.
