UN Secretary-General António Guterres has stated that 'the destruction of Gaza is intolerable,' warning that the prospect of an Israel-Palestinian two-state solution is 'farther than ever.' His remarks underscore growing international concern over the escalating conflict and its devastating impact on civilians. Guterres's statement reflects the UN's increasingly urgent plea for a cessation of hostilities and a renewed commitment to finding a peaceful resolution to the long-standing conflict. He emphasized the need for both sides to de-escalate tensions and engage in meaningful negotiations to prevent further loss of life and destruction.
