Gaza War: Guterres: Time for immediate ceasefire in Gaza

In view of the humanitarian emergency in the Gaza Strip, UN General Secretary António Guterres warns an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Islamist Hamas. A few days ago, ceasefire between Israel and Iran “gave rise to hope,” said Guterres. Now it is time to raise the “political courage” for a ceasefire in Gaza.

“People are killed just because they try to feed themselves and their families,” complained the UN CEO and indirectly referred to the distribution centers for humanitarian aid operated by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in Gaza. According to the UN information, at least 410 Palestinians have been killed in the area of ​​the GHF food distribution since the end of May.

“The search for food must never be a death sentence,” said Guterres. Every operation that “runs desperate civilians in militarized zones” is unsure. The GHF is a foundation supported by Israel and the USA. After a week -long total blockade of the sealed Gaza Strip, she had brought it into play to avoid the distribution of relief goods by the UN and other organizations.

Guterres said. “It’s time for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza”. US President Donald Trump will expect a ceasefire in the coming week. It was close to it that he recently spoke to some participants, said Trump – probably with regard to ongoing mediation efforts. When asked by a journalist how close to a ceasefire in the Gaza War, the President in the White House said: “We think that we will get a ceasefire within the next week.”
