Are Norway, Tunisia backing GERD discussions at the UNSC?

Has Egypt got backing on the UN Security Council for discussing the GERD dispute? Norway and Tunisia have discussed bringing the GERD dispute to discussion at the UN Security Council in July, the Tunisian Foreign Ministry said in a statement yesterday, without providing further details. Both countries are currently non-permanent members of the council.

Egypt and Sudan have both appealed to the Security Council to take action against Ethiopia in recent weeks as Ethiopia prepares to resume filling the dam’s reservoir. The countries were said to be preparing a draft resolution to submit to the council, and have gotten the Arab League on side, which called on the council to intervene in the dispute.
