I have the honour to inform you that I have appointed Sigrid Kaag (Kingdom of the Netherlands) as Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Personal Representative of the Secretary-General to the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority ad interim, concurrently with her current responsibilities as Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza in accordance with Security Council resolution 2720 (2023). Ms. Kaag will assume the responsibilities of Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process ad interim in addition to and concurrently with her mandate as Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza.
Ms. Kaag replaces Tor Wennesland (Norway), who completed his assignment in December 2024. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to Mr. Wennesland for his dedication and leadership of the Office of the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and Personal Representative of the Secretary-General to the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority.
I should be grateful if you would bring this matter to the attention of the members of the General Assembly and the Security Council.
(Signed) António Guterres
