New York, United Nations | UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned of escalating tensions. Consequently, he indicated that crises threaten dangerous consequences for international security. Moreover, the region is passing through an extremely sensitive phase requiring urgent intervention. As a result, Guterres asserted that the two-state solution is currently the only viable option. Thus, the UN seeks to end conflict and achieve lasting peace.
Guterres: Two-State Solution Is the Only Way to End Conflict
The Secretary-General emphasized that the absence of a political horizon will lead to further explosions. Accordingly, he called on all parties to exercise restraint immediately. In addition, he stressed the importance of adhering to the two-state solution as a basic reference for peace. Conversely, civilian suffering is increasing in more than one regional arena. Therefore, this solution represents a fair exit to ensure long-term stability in the Middle East.
International Community Action to Support De-escalation Efforts
Guterres stressed the necessity of urgent international community action. On the other hand, international support aims to create conditions for sustainable peace. Consequently, the political path requires concerted efforts to ensure civilian protection. Ultimately, there is no alternative to the two-state solution to avoid expanding military confrontations. Accordingly, UN calls remain standing to resume serious negotiations based on international law.
