Doha: United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres Tuesday issued an urgent appeal for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Gaza and across the region, stressing that civilians must not bear the cost of conflict with their lives and futures.
According to Qatar News Agency, Guterres emphasized that a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, alongside a credible political process, is essential to preventing further bloodshed. He highlighted the importance of seizing the latest proposal put forward by US President Donald Trump regarding Gaza as a significant opportunity to end the ongoing tragic conflict.
