The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday stressed the need and importance of an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
“I have never experienced the level of death and destruction that we have been witnessing in Gaza over the past few months,” he said.
Guterres added in a press statement that the United Nations offered to monitor any possible ceasefire between the parties in Gaza, recalling the presence of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO).
He noted that Israel’s acceptance of the ceasefire offer was “a low probability,” so he described the UN’s involvement in any role in Gaza’s future as “unrealistic.”
He reiterated that the “destruction and death” in the Gaza Strip is the worst he has seen during his current tenure since 2017.
With American support, the Zionist enemy has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since the seventh of last October, which left more than 135,000 martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than ten thousand missing, amid massive destruction and deadly famine.
