Israel’s occupation must end – that’s the message delivered by the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to a Ministerial open debate on the Palestinian question in the Security Council. Guterres advocates for a two-state solution as the only pathway to end the decades-long Palestinian conflict and emphasises an end to Israel’s occupation.
The UN Secretary General has also warned that the risks of a broader regional escalation as a result of the war in Gaza were now becoming a reality with tensions rising in the Red Sea shipping lanes, across Israel’s border with Lebanon with daily attacks on facilities hosting US and international coalition forces in Iraq and Syria among others.
Guterres renews his appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire that would ensure sufficient assistance into aid-starved Gaza, facilitate the release of hostages and help lower tensions around the Middle East.
