“HE DID NOT APPEAR FOR SOMETHING”
In his speech at the high-level Israeli-Palestinian session held at the UN Security Council, UN Secretary General Guterres condemned the attacks carried out by Hamas in Israel on October 7 and continued his words as follows:
“However, we must also be aware that Hamas attacks do not occur out of nowhere. The Palestinian people have been subjected to a suffocating occupation for 56 years. They are witnessing the step-by-step seizure of their lands by settlements and violence.
Their economies have been destroyed, people have been displaced and their homes have been razed to the ground. Their belief in a political solution began to disappear.”
Guterres emphasized that Hamas’ attacks against Israelis “cannot justify collective punishment of the Palestinian people” and added, “Even wars have rules.” he said.
