Gaza truce not enough: UN head

Guterres urges long-term solution with rights for Palestinians alongside Israelis

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said having a deal just for a Gaza ceasefire was "not enough" and stressed that any truce needs to lead to a long-term solution with rights for Palestinians alongside Israelis.

Speaking with reporters on Monday, Guterres described the situation in Gaza as "horrific" and unparalleled.

"We all condemned the horrible, terrible attacks of Hamas. But what we are witnessing in Gaza is a level of death and destruction that has no parallel in recent times," said Guterres.
