Despite global appeals for a ceasefire, Israel continues its aggression on the civilians in Gaza and recently bombed localities in Lebanon too, a move that can trigger the situation into a wider war.
The UN secretary general, António Guterres, has vowed he will not give up seeking a ceasefire in Gaza after the US wielded its veto to block the move at the security council, leaving the UN without a clear route map to stop the conflict lasting many months.
Speaking at the Doha Forum in Qatar, Guterres did not directly criticise the US in his address but said the security council was “paralysed by geostrategic divisions”. He added world institutions “are weak and outdated, caught in a time warp reflecting a reality of 80 years ago”.
“Regrettably, the security council failed to do it, but that does not make it less necessary,” he said. “I will not give up.”
Israel’s actions in Gaza, including the killing of thousands, and targeting civilians, healthcare facilities, and aid workers, demand urgent international attention. The leaders’ assertions rightfully highlight the international community’s failure to take decisive action against Israel’s violations of international law and.
The stark reality is that Israel’s actions in Gaza violate fundamental human rights principles and require global intervention. Similarly, India’s actions in Kashmir demand accountability and immediate steps to ensure the protection of human rights.
The death toll in Gaza has crossed 17,000 and the continuous failure of the United Nations and recently expressed regret by Guterres shows the credibility of the world body in resolving the issues. Appeals of Muslim countries were unheard, and appeals of UN were also not being addressed by the Zionist regime.
How long will the world will remain a spectator to this massacre? only time will tell.
