Recap from the morning session
UN Secretary-General warns two-State solution at ‘breaking point’
- Mr. Guterres warned that the two-State solution is “farther than ever before,” amid ongoing conflict, deepening occupation, and the absence of a credible political horizon.
- He condemned both the 7 October Hamas attacks and what he described as the “obliteration” of Gaza, including mass civilian casualties, starvation and destruction of infrastructure.
- The UN chief urged world leaders to ensure the conference becomes a turning point for irreversible progress toward a two-State solution, calling it the only credible path to peace based on international law.
