United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says Israel’s creeping annexation of the West Bank is illegal and the wholesale destruction of the Gaza Strip is intolerable and both must stop.
“Let’s be clear: The creeping annexation of the occupied West Bank is illegal. It must stop. The wholesale destruction of Gaza is intolerable. It must stop,” he tells a conference at the UN on a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.
“Unilateral actions that would forever undermine the two-state solution are unacceptable. They must stop,” Guterres said.
