With the situation in Gaza “worsening by the day”, UN Secretary-General António Guterres on April 30th appealed for Israeli and Hamas leaders currently taking part in intense negotiations to reach a ceasefire agreement.
“For the sake of the people of Gaza, for the sake of the hostages and their families in Israel and for the sake of the region and the wider world, I strongly encourage the Government of Israel and the Hamas leadership to reach now an agreement,” he said, speaking to journalists in New York.
Mr. Guterres expressed fear that without an agreement, “the war, with all its consequences both in Gaza and across the region, will worsen exponentially”.
