An enormously important step by UN Secretary-General

I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General.
Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.

Building or expanding illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian Territories is a major obstacle to the two state solution and harmful to security of all sides, as also shown by the increasing settler violence. How can new construction coincide with aiming for peace?

Lack of a peace process leaves structural human rights violations: absence of protection and rule of law in the face of settler violence and other terrorism, excessive use of force, detention without trial, lack of freedom and democracy. Human rights demand peace.
#HumanRightsDay
Defending human rights is not an extra option but a cornerstone of democracy, peace&security, and sustainable development.
We will re-double our efforts to support and defend the oppressed and those under threat, wherever they may live.

Reports about planned new settlement construction, if true, are of great concern, even if positively combined with allowing some Palestinian building. Illegal settlement harms the prospect of peace and contradicts the new government’s stated wish to improve the situation.

What can the final, comprehensive peace agreement contain regarding substantive contributions by and even stronger relations with the EU? Also when there is no peace process, we can and must do our homework for when the time comes. 1/2

Heartbreaking to meet Israeli victims of terrorism in Jerusalem and Palestinian victims of terrorism in the West Bank. Unimaginable personal loss and suffering. Horrible, unjustifiable political crimes that cannot be compared to anything.

Grateful to our friends from
#Norway
for their essential work to help prevent the collapse of the Palestinian Authority, which would be disastrous for Palestinians, but also for Israel.

The arrangement agreed with Israeli and Palestinian authorities makes it possible for the Palestinian Authority to receive the balance of their clearance revenues and tax refunds in a critical time.

Provocation and terror are the opposite of cooperation and peace. It is time for calmness to prevail and to get to work.
