Mr. Serry cautioned against a United Nations role in monitoring a ceasefire, but announced that his Office had brokered a trilateral agreement between Israel, the Palestinian Authority and the United Nations on a mechanism to facilitate significant reconstruction efforts while addressing the security concerns of Israel. He warned that, without a change in the fundamental dynamics, the situation in Gaza would remain unstable. In consultations, some Council members called for Council action on Gaza, specifically through a resolution.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"color:#000000;text-align:left;padding-bottom:5px;font-size:10pt;font-family:Times New Roman, serif;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\">\/&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Letter dated 13 February 2015 from the Permanent Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations addressed to the President of the Security Council The United States held the presidency of the Security Council for the month of September 2014.
