Guterres says UN Security Council ‘paralysed’ over Gaza
Doha, Qatar – AFP
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Sunday the Security Council was “paralysed by geostrategic divisions” in its efforts to end Israel’s war against Palestinians in Gaza.
Addressing the Doha Forum, he said the body’s “authority and credibility were severely undermined” by its delayed response to the war.
“I reiterated my appeal for a humanitarian cease-fire to be declared,” he told the forum.
“Regrettably, the Security Council failed to do it,” he added.
“I can promise, I will not give up.
“We are facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system,” Guterres told the Doha Forum.
“The situation is fast deteriorating into a catastrophe with potentially irreversible implications for Palestinians as a whole and for peace and security in the region.”
