"UN Stands in Solidarity with Palestinians on International Day"

The United Nations (UN) has reaffirmed its solidarity with the Palestinian people on International Day, which commemorates the UN General Assembly's adoption of a resolution on partitioning Palestine in 1947. This year's observance comes amid the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, with UN Secretary-General António Guterres describing the situation as a "humanitarian catastrophe." The UN agency UNRWA, which supports Palestine refugees, emphasized the urgent need for a political resolution to meet the legitimate aspirations of Palestinian refugees. The General Assembly President called for dialogue, adherence to UN resolutions, and international efforts to seek compromise and foster trust for peace in the Middle East.
