The United Nations Security Council will meet in New York today for a discussion on the situation in the Middle East that is expected to focus on the Nationality Law passed by the Knesset last week, according to Yisrael Hayom.

Palestinian Authority representative Riyad Mansour said, "The extreme right-wing government has passed a law that states that Israel is not a state of all its citizens by favoring members of a certain religion. This is racist legislation and another step towards apartheid. I intend to discuss the matter at length in the Security Council."
