UN Secretary-General António Guterres doubled down on the two-state solution as the only path to lasting peace between Israel and Palestine during a fiery press conference at UN headquarters. 🔥 His comments came just a day after Israel escalated its military operations in Gaza City.
‘What’s the Alternative?’
Guterres didn’t mince words: ‘Is a one-state system where people lose basic rights acceptable in the 21st century?’ He warned that rejecting Palestinian statehood risks fueling global extremism, adding, ‘Without this solution, there will be no peace—extremism will explode everywhere.’ 💣
Pushing Back on Critics
The UN chief also clapped back at claims by U.S. and Taiwan authorities that recognizing Palestine rewards Hamas. ‘It’s not a gift to Hamas—it’s justice for Palestinians who’ve suffered too,’ he said. 👊
