UN Chief Vows Unwavering Support for Two-State Solution Amid Global Crises

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has pledged to continue his forceful advocacy for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "I will not shut up," he stated, emphasizing his commitment despite political pressures. Guterres made his remarks while outlining a series of severe global challenges. He described a bleak international picture, pointing to ongoing wars and humanitarian disasters. He specifically cited the Russian invasion of Ukraine and what he called the "level of death and destruction" in the Gaza Strip. The UN chief also highlighted the escalating violence and civil war in Sudan. His comments reinforce the Israeli-Palestinian issue as a persistent priority for the UN. Guterres insists that a Palestinian state existing alongside Israel is the only viable path to lasting peace.
