"UN Chief Warns of Growing Threat to Global Security from Gaza and Ukraine Deadlock"

UN chief Antonio Guterres criticizes the Security Council's deadlock over the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, stating that it has "perhaps fatally" undermined its authority. He calls for reform of the council's composition and working methods, expressing concern over the lack of unity among its members. Guterres warns that an all-out Israeli offensive on the city of Rafah in Gaza would have devastating consequences and urges for a truce and hostage release deal to allow more aid into Gaza.
