United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories has spiraled out of control.

Guterres noted that Israel continues to severely restrict essential humanitarian aid to Gaza, adding that Palestinians in the occupied West Bank face daily attacks by Israeli settlers, while journalists and diplomats are also being attacked.

Guterres emphasized the need for a credible political process to end the occupation and implement the two-state solution. He called for a lasting peace in which Israel and Palestine live side by side in peace and security.
