As the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement and the release of detainees comes to an end, UN Secretary-General António Guterres is closely monitoring developments in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.
In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Guterres emphasized that the past six weeks provided a fragile yet essential truce, offering an opportunity to alleviate the suffering of both Palestinians and Israelis.
The statement was published on the United Nations website on Saturday.
During the ceasefire period, thousands of humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza, reaching nearly the entire population and providing much-needed relief.
With the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas expiring on Saturday, according to media reports, negotiations between the two parties remain suspended, raising concerns about the potential for renewed military escalation.
