KAMPALA: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said today that the right of the Palestinian people to build their own state "must be recognized by all". "The refusal to accept a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians, and the denial of the right to statehood for the Palestinian people, are unacceptable," the UN leader told the Non-Aligned Movement summit in Kampala, Uganda. Such a stance "would indefinitely prolong a conflict that has become a major threat to global peace and security; exacerbate polarization; and embolden extremists everywhere," Guterres warned. He affirmed, "The right of the Palestinian people to build their own state must be recognized by all." In its final summit communique, the Non-Aligned Movement today "strongly condemned the ongoing Israeli military aggression against the Gaza Strip", calling for "a lasting humanitarian ceasefire". Israel's relentless bombardment and ground offensive on Gaza has killed at least 24,927 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
