Egypt warns against being selective in applying UN resolutions - Minister

Egypt warned against ignoring UN Security Council resolutions related to the Middle East, or being being selective in their application, according to an official statement.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri made these remarks in a meeting with Jeffrey Feltman, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, on the sidelines of his current visit to New York ahead of the 70th session of the UN General Assembly on Sunday. 
 
He also expressed concern for the stalled dialogue between Libyan factions and their failure to form a national consensus government.
 
Shukri added that the humanitarian situation in Syria is "out of control", saying that a quick intervention is crucial. 
 
He also discussed the developments in Yemen. 
 
Egypt hosted tripartite talks addressing the situation in Libya last May. 
 
Shukri also discussed the situation in Palestine with Feltman. Both agreed that the latest Israeli escalation of attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque threatens the efforts for peace.
