UN chief calls for ceasefire and says 'history will judge us all'

UN secretary general Antonio Guterres has urged a ceasefire in Israel and Gaza, calling it a "moment of truth". 

"I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed," he wrote on X on Friday evening.

"Everyone must assume their responsibilities. This is a moment of truth. History will judge us all."
