UN Chief Condemns Israel's Rejection of Two-State Solution and Urges Aid for Gaza

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that Israel's rejection of a two-state solution will prolong the conflict, threatening global peace and emboldening extremists. The US and other countries support a two-state solution, while Russia criticized US diplomacy and Israel's actions. The Palestinian foreign minister described Israel's actions as "the most savage bombing campaign" since World War II, leading to widespread destruction and displacement. The UN chief called for a humanitarian cease-fire, but Israel's ambassador rejected it, blaming Iran for the conflict. The international community is urged to unite and deliver messages to both parties, emphasizing the need for a Palestinian state and Israel's right to self-defense.
