The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, has stated that a solution in Gaza would bring immediate de-escalation in other parts of the Middle East.
Speaking to CNN at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Guterres warned that he is extremely concerned about the situation with Lebanon.
"We cannot have another Gaza in Lebanon. It is absolutely essential to avoid a messy confrontation in Lebanon that will be the destruction of the country ," Guterres said, adding that he sees serious efforts being made by the Lebanese government, the United States and other parties.
Guterres also called for a humanitarian ceasefire to facilitate the immediate and unconditional release of hostages, provide effective humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, and facilitate a serious de-escalation negotiation in Lebanon.
