UN Chief’s Warning
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres highlighted Gaza’s third year of horrors: 'A scale of death and destruction beyond any other conflict.' He wants a ceasefire, hostage releases, and safe humanitarian access full speed ahead. 🚨
A Palestinian Perspective
Riyad Mansour, the State of Palestine’s observer to the UN, said recognizing Palestine supports their right to self-determination: 'This is not a gift but a legitimate right.' He stressed that neither Palestinians nor Israelis should live under endless occupation or conflict. ✊🏽
