I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed. Everyone must assume their responsibilities. This is a moment of truth. History will judge us all.

Jews calling for #ceasefirenow have taken over NYC’s grand central station in the name of Palestinians of Gaza we say not in our name.

I reiterate my appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, unconditional release of hostages & delivery of relief at a level corresponding to the dramatic needs of the people in Gaza, where a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in front of our eyes. – António Guterres

UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk calls on all parties as well as third States with influence to do all in their power to de-escalate this conflict, and to work toward the goal where Israelis and Palestinians can fully enjoy all human rights and live side by side, in peace.

Zviedrija, Somija, Dānija, Norvēģija un Islande. Latvijai arī ir jābūt kopā ar Ziemeļvalstīm savā demokrātijas, drošības un cilvēktiesību izpratnē. Ziemeļvalstu padome atbalsta humānās palīdzības sniegšanai nepieciešamās pauzes izsludināšanu Gazā. Starptautiskie likumi,

Latvijas zinātne mērķtiecīgi pašiznīcinās. Jaunākais pasākums — feikie tenūras konkursi, kas ļaus iecementēties savos amatos akadēmiski vājiem profesoriem. Jāsaprot, ka zemas kvalitātes universitātes ilgtermiņā padarīs jebkādu ekonomisko izrāvienu par neiespējamu.

#Gaza: I call for an immediate end to the use of military weapons and means during Israeli law enforcement operations, an end to ill-treatment & discriminatory restrictions of Palestinians - Volker Türk on the UN report on the human rights situation in the occupied West Bank

Civilians are #NotATarget. Humanitarians are #NotATarget. They must be protected. Everywhere. At all times.

As hostilities in Gaza intensify, I remain gravely concerned about further spillover of this conflict, which could have devastating consequences for the entire region. I reiterate my call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire & release of all hostages. un.org/sg/en/content/…
