United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his strong disapproval of the denial of the right to statehood for the Palestinian people. In a statement posted on X, Guterres emphasized that the right of the Palestinian people to establish their state must be recognized by all.
The collapse of US-backed peace talks, aimed at achieving a two-state solution where Israel and a Palestinian state coexist in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and East Jerusalem, occurred a decade ago.
This failure has had significant implications for the long-term security challenges faced by Israel and the urgent need to rebuild Gaza.

US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller highlighted the importance of establishing a Palestinian state in addressing both Israel’s long-term security challenges and the short-term task of rebuilding Gaza.
Miller also noted that countries in the region were prepared to provide security assurances to Israel, presenting a unique opportunity for progress.
Secretary-General Guterres’ condemnation of the denial of Palestinian statehood reflects the international community’s recognition of the need for a just and lasting resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The establishment of a Palestinian state is seen as a crucial step towards achieving peace and stability in the region.
Efforts to revive peace talks and advance the two-state solution remain ongoing, with the hope that all parties involved will work towards a comprehensive and sustainable resolution that respects the rights and aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians.
Overall, the international community, including Secretary-General Guterres, underscores the importance of recognizing the rights of the Palestinian people and the necessity of establishing a Palestinian state as a fundamental component of a peaceful and secure future for all.
