Guterres reiterates call for two-state solution

Guterres adds that “the only way forward is through a political solution that opens a path to sustained peace based on two states – Palestine and Israel, living side by side in peace and security … with Jerusalem as capital of both states”.

“Let us keep working to keep that a reality as we work to answer today’s call to action for Palestinians in Gaza in such a profound and immediate need,” he said.

Gaza’s death toll rises

At least 37,164 people have been killed and 84,832 wounded in Israeli military attacks on Gaza since October 7, the enclave’s Health Ministry says.

Of them, 40 Palestinians were killed and 120 wounded in the past 24 hours, the ministry added.

Stage two of ceasefire resolution could be a ‘problem’

With Hamas wanting six weeks of a ceasefire and Israel seeking the release of captives, “the first stage is good for everyone,”

But the problem with stage two of the deal is that Israel is not committed towards a permanent ceasefire.

Until this moment, all statements coming from the Israelis are saying they are unwilling to do that. Especially with the withdrawal of key ministers from the government – it’s a far-right-wing government in Israel where the key ministers talk about the continuation of the war after stage one.

Lot of bad faith on the part of the Israelis when it comes to stage two; the concept of a permanent ceasefire isn’t in the dictionary and in the lexicon of the Israelis.
