U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said during a visit to Jordan on Monday that there is growing international consensus to tell Israel that a ceasefire is needed and that an assault on Rafah would cause a humanitarian disaster.
"We see a growing consensus emerging in the international community to tell the Israelis that the cease-fire is needed and I also see a growing consensus, I heard in the U.S., I heard from the European Union, not to mention of course the Muslim world, to tell clearly to Israelis that any ground invasion of Rafah could mean a humanitarian disaster," Guterres told a news conference.
Guterres did not mention the hostages, let alone the need to obtain a surrender from the Hamas, an organization deemed terrorist by the EU and the United States.
Instead of discussing a ceasefire, the UN chief would do better to advocate for the disarmament of the Hamas.
It is the only solution to end the conflict.
