The United Nations confirmed on Tuesday that the residents of Gaza are being subjected to destruction on a scale and speed unprecedented in history, stressing that Israel's rejection of the two-state solution is "unacceptable."

The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, said: “The entire population of Gaza is being subjected to destruction on a scale and speed unprecedented in history, and nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Strip.”

He added, "Everyone is hungry in Gaza, and more than half a million people are now inside Rafah, and there is a spread of diseases."

He stated that "the quantities of humanitarian aid entering Gaza are completely insufficient," stressing that he faces "very difficult inspections of aid and rejections of essential materials."

The Secretary-General of the United Nations said: “We need to reach the areas of northern Gaza.” He called for "rapid and sustainable humanitarian aid access to Gaza."

He stressed that “the war in Gaza is fueling unrest outside the Gaza Strip.” “The risk of the conflict expanding regionally has become a reality.”

He said, "The United Nations is facing a cumbersome aid screening process and unjustified rejection of urgently needed items," stressing that "there is a need for more crossing points into Gaza, and the entry of aid from the port of Ashdod must resume."

He stated that "dozens of aid workers have been waiting for months to obtain visas from Israel."

He stressed that "the two-state solution is the only way to address the aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis," adding that "the clear and repeated rejection of the two-state solution from the highest levels of the Israeli government is unacceptable."

The Secretary-General added, "This rejection and denial of the right of the Palestinian people to have a state would indefinitely prolong a conflict that has become a grave danger to international peace and security."

He stressed that this would "exacerbate polarization and encourage extremists everywhere."

Guterres said that "everyone must recognize the right of the Palestinian people to build their completely independent state," and pointed out that "any rejection by any party of the two-state solution must be firmly rejected," explaining that "it is the only way to achieve a lasting and just peace in Israel, Palestine and the entire region." .

Guterres said, "It is necessary to reduce the escalation in the Red Sea and Yemen, and attacks on ships must stop immediately."

He pointed out that "the violence of Israeli settlers in the West Bank is one of the concerns."

The Secretary-General of the United Nations welcomed "the agreement facilitated by Qatar and France to deliver shipments of medicines to Gaza."

Earlier Tuesday, the European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, said that Israel does not have a veto against the Palestinians’ right to self-determination.
