Diplomats said the briefing was requested by nearly two-thirds of the 15-member council - Tunisia, Ireland, China, Estonia, France, Norway, Niger, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Vietnam.

The Trump administration had been supportive of Israel at the UN and had used its veto power at the Security Council to protect the Jewish state from censure.
US President Joe Biden has promised to also stand by Israel at the UN, but the Jerusalem violence is likely to test that resolve.
Jordan on Monay summoned Israel's deputy ambassador to Jordan Sami Abu Janeb to its Foreign Ministry over Jerusalem.
