BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- The President of Argentina wrote the chairman of the UN Security Council to request urgent action on Gaza violence, Argentina's consulate to Palestine said Tuesday.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner said that while Argentina would not take its seat on the council until January 2013, "the current situation can not wait," in the letter to Ambassador Hardeep Singh Puri.
"As you know, Gaza has a population density that prevents avoiding civilian casualties even when air strikes have specific targets," Kirchner wrote, in the letter provided by the consulate.
"It is difficult not to outrage at the number of children that are among the hundreds of casualties and thousands of injured."
The letter continued: "That is why I request you to call, urgently, a session of the Security Council to end this round of violence that only strengthens those who want to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state living in peace with the State of Israel as promised by the President of the Palestinian Authority, President Mahmoud Abbas."
