UN Secretary-General António Guterres delivered a stark warning this week: the long-envisioned two-state solution for Israel and Palestine is on the brink of collapse. 🌍💔 Speaking at a UN Security Council debate, Guterres stressed that sustainable peace in the Middle East hinges on this plan—but political commitment has ‘dwindled to the point of disappearance.’
What’s at Stake?
Escalating violence since the October 2023 Hamas attacks, relentless conflict in Gaza, and rising tensions in the West Bank have pushed the region into deeper turmoil. ‘The world cannot afford to watch the two-state solution disappear,’ Guterres declared, urging global leaders to step up before it’s too late. 🔥
Key Demands
The UN chief called for:
🚨 An immediate ceasefire and release of all hostages.
💡 Unrestricted humanitarian aid access, especially via UNRWA.
🛡️ Accountability under international law to curb impunity.
He also criticized Israeli officials for allegedly using aid as a bargaining chip, demanding compliance with obligations to protect civilians.
Global Action Ahead
A high-level conference co-hosted by France and Saudi Arabia in June aims to revive global backing for peace. Guterres urged nations to move beyond rhetoric: ‘Show political courage… before it’s too late.’ 🌱
For young changemakers tracking global crises, this isn’t just politics—it’s a race against time to prevent irreversible damage. Let’s stay informed. ✊ #StayWoke
