WE NEED URGENT DE-ESCALATION!
August 1, 2024UN Secretary-General António Guterres has urged the international community to prevent escalation in the Middle East, following an Israeli strike on the Lebanese capital Beirut and the reported killing of a top Hamas leader in Iran.
Israel is on a rampage, preventing ANY progress on reaching a ceasefire and de-escalating the conflict.
THEY MUST BE PUT IN LINE!

English Script:
Stéphane DuJarric: The Secretary-General believes that the attacks we have seen in South Beirut and in Tehran represent a dangerous escalation at a moment in which all efforts should instead be leading to a ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all Israeli hostages, a massive increase in humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza and a return to calm and across the Blue Line. Rather than that, what we are seeing are efforts to undermine these goals. The Secretary-General has consistently called for maximum restraint by all. It is increasingly clear, however, that restraint alone is insufficient at this extremely sensitive time. The Secretary-General urges all to vigorously work towards regional de-escalation in the interest of long term peace and stability for all. The international community must work together to urgently prevent any actions that could push the entire Middle East over the edge, with a devastating impact on civilians. The way to do so is by advancing comprehensive diplomatic action for regional de-escalation.
