United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has reaffirmed that Gaza must remain a cornerstone of an independent, democratic, and sovereign Palestinian State, rejecting any proposals that would reduce its territory or forcibly displace its population.
Speaking at an emergency summit of Arab nations in Cairo focused on the Middle East crisis and Gaza’s reconstruction, Guterres emphasized the urgent need for a political framework grounded in international law to secure lasting peace and stability in the region.
