UN Succession Deadlock Sparks Late Bid by UAE Official Nusseibeh
The race to replace UN Secretary-General António Guterres remains deadlocked, with no candidate securing full support from the five permanent Security Council members. This stalemate has prompted UAE minister Lana Nusseibeh to test the waters for a late entry, while frontrunner Rebeca Grynspan faces opposition from veto-wielding powers. The selection process is further complicated by US pressure for reform and regional rivalries in the Gulf.
