United Nations article 99: Guterres invokes diplomatic tool to help Gaza

The UN secretary general Antonio Guterres has invoked his most powerful diplomatic tool to try to stop the killing of Palestinians in Gaza. He’s directing the security council to discuss the ‘humanitarian catastrophe’ and is calling for an urgent truce. Israel dismissed the move as a ‘new moral low’ and said Guterres should resign.
