Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, Marwan Bishara, highlights the repetitive nature of discussions at the UN Security Council, noting that it feels like "Groundhog Day" each time they convene.

He emphasizes that many representatives, including those from the US, UK, and Algeria, seem to act more like political commentators than diplomats. Bishara suggests that the US ambassador, in particular, continues to deliver the same statements as in previous meetings, with only minor variations, such as a new emphasis on the US's concern.
