  1. Gaza war hits two-year mark as ceasefire is finally reached<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    October marks two years since the war in Gaza began. Looking back at the 7 October attack launched by Hamas and other armed groups on Israel, the UN Secretary-General remembered<\/a><\/em> \u201call those who were killed and suffered horrific violence\u201d. The UN Relief Chief renewed<\/a><\/em> the call for the unconditional, immediate release of all the hostages, and an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, for all civilians to be protected, and for humanitarian aid to flow freely at the scale needed. The UNRWA Commissioner-General \u00a0pointed<\/a><\/em> to the life in Gaza over the past two years that has been marked by \u201cdestruction, displacement, bombardment, fear, death, and hunger\u201d. The Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process expressed<\/a><\/em> \u201csolidarity with those who continue to grieve\u201d and highlighted the infliction of \u201cimmense suffering on both Palestinians and Israelis\u201d. The Chair of the UN Palestinian Rights Committee condemned<\/a><\/em> the deadly attacks and the devastating consequences of the disproportionate response. He reaffirmed that \u201cIsrael\u2019s occupation has no legal basis and must be brought to an end immediately, with full accountability and reparations to the Palestinian people\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Following the announcement of an agreement to secure a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza, based on the proposal put forward by US President Donald J. Trump, the UN Secretary-General welcomed<\/a><\/em> the move as a \u201cdesperately needed breakthrough.\u201d The UNICEF Executive Director welcomed<\/a><\/em> the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, calling it a \u201chope for Palestinian children who have suffered through two years of horrific war\u201d. UN human rights experts welcomed<\/a><\/em> parts of the peace plan and stressed that any peace plan must respect international law and Palestinian self-determination. They also warned that \u201ckey elements of the plan are nevertheless deeply inconsistent with fundamental rules of international law and the 2024 Advisory Opinion\u00a0of the International Court of Justice that demand that Israel ends its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory\u201d.<\/p>\n
