Guterres Expresses Concern Over Converting Israeli Settlement into a City in the West Bank
The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, expressed his concern over the Israeli authorities' decision to designate the settlement of Givat Ze'ev in the occupied West Bank as a "city," emphasizing that this classification does not change its legal status as part of the occupied Palestinian territories under international law. He called on Israel to halt settlement expansion, reaffirming that all settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, lack legal legitimacy and constitute violations of United Nations resolutions. The United Nations also organized visits and testimonies regarding settler attacks on Palestinians, noting that settler assaults accounted for approximately 55% of the total Palestinian injuries in the West Bank in 2026. Continuing its assistance efforts, the organization provided food aid to over 250,000 people in Gaza and expanded its cash assistance program to nearly 1,500 farmers. Additionally, international support totaling $58 million was allocated to the Horizon Fund to bolster humanitarian aid in the occupied territories.
