World leaders united in urgency at the UN General Assembly this week, calling for an immediate end to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as Israel's offensive intensifies. With over 65,000 Palestinian lives lost since October 2023, the plea for peace echoed across the global stage. 🕊️
Kenyan President William Ruto set the tone, demanding a permanent ceasefire and a two-state solution:
"Israel and Palestine must live side by side in peace. This cycle of violence must stop."
Guyanese President Mohamed Irfaan Ali went further, accusing Israel of "mass extermination" and war crimes, while Spain’s King Felipe VI declared:
"Stop this massacre now. No more deaths."
Finnish President Alexander Stubb highlighted the collapse of international systems as Gaza’s crisis reaches "unbearable levels," with 700,000 residents fleeing bombardment. Meanwhile, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu doubled down, vowing to block Palestinian statehood ahead of his UN speech.
As tanks roll through Gaza City and airstrikes hit 170 targets in 24 hours, the world watches—and debates—whether diplomacy can outpace destruction. 🔥
