New YORK, United States – United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Tuesday called for the immediate and unconditional release of all detainees in Gaza.
In addition to ending hostilities in the Gaza Strip, Israel and the region.
This came in his speech on the occasion of the second anniversary of Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which led to the outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip.
In his speech, Guterres denounced “a humanitarian disaster beyond description”.
He stressed the urgent need to “release the hostages immediately and unconditionally.”
The UN Secretary-General added: “End the suffering for all. This is a humanitarian disaster beyond description.”
He also called for “an end to hostilities in Gaza, Israel and the region now”.
Guterres pointed out that the latest proposal presented by US President Donald Trump represents an opportunity to end the conflict.
“After two years of suffering, we have to choose hope,” he added. Now”.
Since Monday, mediators have been meeting with representatives of Hamas and Israel in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh.
This is to discuss the peace plan proposed by Trump.
The Secretary-General stressed that a permanent ceasefire and a credible political process are essential to prevent further bloodshed and pave the way for peace.
