Antonio Guterres has begun his address to the Security Council during a session to discuss the resolution for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza. This is what he has said so far: “We have already seen the spillover in the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. There is clearly, in my view, a serious risk of aggravating existing threats to the maintenance of international peace and security”. “The risk of collapse of the humanitarian system is fundamentally linked to the complete lack of safety and security for our staff in Gaza and with the nature and intensity of military operations which are severely limiting access to people in […]

The US State Department announced on Tuesday it is issuing travel bans on dozens of Israelis and some Palestinians for taking part in violence in the Occupied West Bank. Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank deny daily harassment, dismissing US concerns. Contrary to their claims, documented attacks have doubled since October 7, prompting travel bans for some settlers. While downplayed by settlers, the Biden administration’s move is seen as symbolic. NGOs supporting settlements may face scrutiny. Despite on-the-ground denials, escalating violence raises questions about further US intervention. Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane reports.

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has invoked what is widely considered to be the most powerful diplomatic tool at his disposal. In a letter to the UN Security Council, Guterres invoked Article 99 of the UN Charter, which states that “the Secretary-General may bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security”. The letter represents the first time Guterres has invoked the article since he took over the role of UN secretary-general on January 1, 2017. In the letter, Guterres calls for the Security Council to press to avert a humanitarian catastrophe and appeals for a humanitarian ceasefire […]

Russian President Vladimir Putin has begun his rare trip to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia where he is expected to discuss the war in Gaza, among others. Al Jazeera’s diplomatic editor James Bays says Putin and the Gulf leaders he is meeting share a similar stance on the war and want a permanent ceasefire. “It is interesting when they talk about the US’s role and the US abandoning the Palestinians and going around the Palestinians, actually that was done [by] the UAE … that’s one of the countries that signed the Abraham Accords with Israel. So I think there are possibly some differences there,” Bays noted. “Russia has […]
The US Department of State has said that it will impose visa restrictions on Israeli settlers involved in undermining peace, security or stability in the occupied West Bank. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the move on Tuesday, one day after the State Department said that Israel has not taken sufficient steps to address settler attacks that have driven many Palestinians off their land. President Joe Biden and other senior US officials have warned repeatedly that Israel must act to stop violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank, which has increased since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. Palestinians have described settler violence as one part […]
