\nAmman: UN Secretary-General Ant?nio Guterres said that “the Middle East is a tinderbox” and urged action to prevent spillover across the region.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the third summit of the Group of 77 (G-77) and China, which opened in Kampala, Uganda, on Sunday, Guterres again stressed the need for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and access for humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n
“The wholesale destruction of Gaza and the number of civilian casualties in such a short period are totally unprecedented during my mandate,” the Secretary-General said, noting that the UN has also been affected as 152 staff have been killed.<\/p>\n
He went on to say that the situation in Gaza is heartbreaking and totally unacceptable, emphasizing that the continual rejection of a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians is completely unacceptable.<\/p>\n
He underscored that denying the Palestinian people’s right to establish a state would prolong the war indefinitely, posing a significant threat to global peace and security.<\/p>\n
