UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for an end to Israel’s plan for a military takeover of the Gaza Strip, stressing that the Israeli government’s decision to “take control of Gaza City” represents a dangerous escalation and risks worsening the already catastrophic consequences for millions of Palestinians.

He warned that it could further endanger more lives, including those of the remaining hostages.

According to the United Nations Information Centre, Guterres noted that Palestinians in Gaza continue to endure a humanitarian catastrophe of shocking proportions.

He cautioned that this additional escalation would lead to further forced displacement, killings, and massive destruction, compounding the unimaginable suffering of the Palestinian population in Gaza.

The Secretary-General renewed his urgent call for a permanent ceasefire, unimpeded humanitarian access across Gaza, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.
