In the midst of the escalating conflict between the USA, Israel and Iran, a first lady chaired a meeting of the United Nations Security Council for the first time. The debate was entitled “Children, technology and education in conflict”.
The appearance was made possible because the USA holds the rotating chairmanship of the United Nations Security Council in March – ambassadors or government representatives usually lead the meetings there.
Melania Trump opened the session formally and in her speech emphasized the importance of education for lasting peace.
“You are in my thoughts and prayers during these difficult times”
“First, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the families who lost their heroes who sacrificed their lives for freedom. Their bravery and dedication will always be remembered. I sincerely wish all those injured a speedy and smooth recovery. You are in my thoughts and prayers during these difficult times. The United States stands with all children around the world. I hope you will find peace soon.” The current one Military strike against Iran didn’t mention them specifically.
According to Spiegel, Iran’s UN ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani sharply criticized the timing and topic of the meeting and spoke of a “deeply shameful and hypocritical” approach. A spokesman for UN Secretary-General António Guterres had previously welcomed the first lady’s chairmanship as a sign of American appreciation for the Security Council.
