Macron, Carney and Burnham press Gaza and two-state solution at the UN
Western leaders joined a chorus of voices at the 81st UN General Assembly on Gaza, with France’s Emmanuel Macron calling the humanitarian situation shameful and Canada’s Mark Carney warning that Israel’s E1 settlement plan directly threatens peace.
Western leaders used the 81st UN General Assembly in New York to raise alarm over Gaza and to defend the prospect of a two-state solution.
French President Emmanuel Macron said some believe peace has been achieved in Gaza, but humanitarian aid still is not reaching people there, calling the situation shameful for all. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Israel’s approval of the illegal E1 settlement project in occupied East Jerusalem is a direct threat to peace.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the world cannot stay silent while the vision of a two-state solution is under attack, noting that far too many people, including children, have been killed. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda said the two-state solution remains the only path to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said so-called ceasefires have been little more than small-scale truces in which civilians keep paying the price.
Leaders from the region and beyond went further. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Gaza has the world’s highest rate of child amputees, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani called the situation a genocide, and Jordan’s King Abdullah II warned that Israeli expansionism had become a regional threat. Brazil’s Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Denis Bećirović also described events in Gaza as genocide.
