UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres commented on the killing of six UNRWA workers in the Gaza Strip by IDF forces, and said that "what is happening there is completely unacceptable.
A school that became a shelter for about 12,000 people was damaged today by Israeli airstrikes again."
Israel's ambassador to the UN Danny Danon responded: "What is 'unacceptable' is the fact that the UN Secretary General refuses to recognize reality and continues to distort it. Terrorists who operate out of a civilian structure that was used by UNRWA in the past are not 'innocent actors'."
The United States has confirmed that government-level delegations from Israel and Lebanon will hold "intensive and detailed" discussions in Washington on 14 and 15 May, in what represents the most significant direct diplomatic engagement between the two countries in over four decades.
There are gestures that speak louder than policy papers. Pedro Sánchez made one on Thursday.
Lebanon and Israel will hold a third round of direct discussions in Washington next Thursday and Friday, a US State Department official confirmed, speaking on condition of anonymity.
