UNITED NATIONS: The recent dialogue between senior Israeli and Palestinian officials has pleased UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

On Tuesday, Guterres urged both sides to "extend these connections," arguing that "piecemeal approaches" to the Palestinian crisis would only ensure that the "underlying issues generating the conflict remain unaddressed."

"The war must be brought to an end by unilateral actions and unlawful actions. Incitement to violence is a dead end that must be avoided by all "He spoke during the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People's Opening Session in 2022.

According to reports, the situation continues to pose a substantial threat to international peace and security, according to a top UN official. "Political, economic, and security conditions are deteriorating across the Occupied Palestinian Territory, as Palestinians face high levels of dispossession, violence, and insecurity," Guterres stated.

The UN Secretary-General urged the international community to step up "urgent" efforts to end the conflict and the occupation in accordance with UN resolutions, international law, and bilateral agreements. He reaffirmed the objective of two states "living side by side in peace within safe and recognised borders," with Jerusalem as their shared capital, based on the pre-1967 lines.
