UN Chief Demands End to Gaza Occupation, Calls for Two-State Solution
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has once again urged for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in the ongoing Gaza conflict. His statement, issued on August 9, 2025, underscores the urgency of the situation.
The UN chief’s appeal also includes a demand for unimpeded humanitarian access to the besieged territory. He stressed the critical need for the immediate release of all hostages.
Guterres firmly stated that a lasting peace is impossible without ending the “unlawful occupation” of Gaza. He reiterated his unwavering support for a viable two-state solution.
Crucially, the UN chief emphasized that Gaza must remain an integral part of a future Palestinian state. This assertion carries significant weight in the ongoing peace negotiations.
The UN’s strong stance highlights the international community’s growing concern over the humanitarian crisis and the need for a just and lasting resolution to the conflict. The situation in Gaza directly impacts regional stability and demands immediate international attention.
