UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Sunday that he had “significant concerns” about rising violence in the occupied West Bank and human rights abuses in Gaza.
Guterres, who is working on the 58th session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, said, “There is serious concern over rising violence in the occupied West Bank due to Israeli settlers and other violations, and calls for annexation. ” reported the Middle East Monitor.
“In occupied Palestinian territory, human rights violations have skyrocketed,” he said.
Describing the ceasefire between Israeli and Palestinian group Hamas as “unstable,” he urged: The people of Gaza are already suffering. ”
“A permanent ceasefire, a dignified release of all remaining hostages, an irreversible advancement to the two states’ solutions, the end of occupation, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, and the time to establish Gaza as an integral part I’ve come,” he added. .
