Hey fam! 🌍 At a UN HQ press conference with media like China Media Group, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres dropped a 🔥 reminder: the two-state solution is literally the only viable way to bring lasting peace between Israel and Palestine. Here’s the gist:
- Why two states? Guterres pointed out that a single-state setup risks stripping Palestinians of basic rights or displacing them from their homes—a total no-go in the 21st century. 🙅♂️
- Peace vs. extremism: No two-state agreement = no real peace in the Middle East. Instead, extremism could spread like wildfire, with global ripple effects. 🔥🌪️
- Not a gift to Hamas: Some US and Israeli officials warned that recognizing a Palestinian state is "a gift to Hamas." Guterres clapped back: it’s actually a gift to the Palestinian people who’ve endured so much. 💝
- Global backing: Last Friday, the UN General Assembly approved a draft resolution supporting the New York Declaration on peacefully settling the Palestine question and implementing the two-state vision. ✅

These remarks came just one day after Israel launched a massive ground offensive in Gaza City. Guterres’s plea is a reminder that diplomacy still rocks—let’s hope the world hits play on peace, not repeat war. 🤞✌️
