UN criticizes settlements and Israeli remarks
The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, expressed deep concern over the new settlement activities announced by Israel in the West Bank, particularly the E-1 area tenders, which will sever the connection between the north and south of the West Bank. These actions threaten the two-state solution and could have serious consequences for the territorial integrity of the occupied Palestinian lands. He called on Israel to comply with United Nations resolutions and the advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice on July 19, 2024, and to avoid taking any provocative steps. The United Nations also condemned the inflammatory statements made by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, which depict Palestinians in a dehumanizing manner, amid ongoing casualties and destruction in Gaza and the West Bank. The Secretary-General emphasized the importance of holding those responsible for incitement accountable and urged other countries to cease the crimes and punish the perpetrators. Additionally, Israeli forces carried out field operations in Hebron, imposing a curfew on approximately 40,000 people, leading to urgent humanitarian repercussions. The UN continues to support the region's residents through children's programs and humanitarian activities amidst escalating military operations in Gaza and the West Bank.
