‘I am outraged by the Israeli air strikes in Gaza’

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres made this statement following Israel’s renewed assault on Gaza, which has drawn condemnation from governments and humanitarian organisations worldwide.

Guterres also demanded an immediate halt to Israel’s attacks and warned that the ceasefire must be respected.

“I strongly appeal for the ceasefire to be respected, for unimpeded humanitarian assistance to be reestablished and for the remaining hostages to be released unconditionally,” he said in a post on X.
