UN Secretary-General Guterres Warns of 'Ethnic Cleansing' Risk in West Bank and Unprecedented Gaza Devastation

UN Secretary-General António Guterres sharply criticized Israel during the opening day of the UN General Assembly in New York, warning of unprecedented killing and destruction in Gaza and a risk of 'ethnic cleansing' in the West Bank. Guterres stated that nearly three years after Hamas's October 7 attack, Palestinians in Gaza have endured a scale of devastation he has not witnessed during his tenure.

He also noted the International Court of Justice's legally binding provisional measures in South Africa's case accusing Israel of violating the Genocide Convention in Gaza, urging compliance from all parties.
