UN Secretary-General António Guterres said, “Everyone must recognize the right of the Palestinian people to establish their state,” and any denial of this right is unacceptable.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations added during the Non-Aligned Movement summit in Uganda, today, Saturday, that “refusing to accept a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians, as well as denying the right of the Palestinian people to establish a state, is unacceptable,” and this would indefinitely prolong the conflict. It has become a major threat to global peace and security.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations stressed that "everyone must recognize the right of the Palestinian people to establish their state."

Guterres said in another statement published on the “X” platform, this evening, Saturday, “I will not back down from my call for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip for humanitarian reasons.”

He added, "People in Gaza are dying not only because of bombs and bullets, but because of the lack of food and clean water, and the lack of electricity and medicine in hospitals," stressing that this must stop.
