Solidarity with the Palestinian People, observed on 29\u00a0November:<\/p>\n<p>We commemorate the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People at a time of diminished hope for peace.\u00a0 I am deeply saddened by the growing number of Palestinian civilians who have lost their lives in the spiral of violence engulfing the occupied West Bank. \u00a0Each casualty fuels fear and yet more violence. \u00a0I urge all parties to take immediate steps to reduce tensions and break this deadly cycle.<\/p>\n<p>The long-standing drivers of conflict \u2014 including the ongoing occupation, settlement expansion, home demolitions and evictions \u2014 heighten anger, despair and hopelessness.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Gaza continues to endure debilitating closures and humanitarian crises. \u00a0I reiterate my call on the parties to engage to end the closures of Gaza and improve living conditions of all Palestinians.<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East\u00a0(UNRWA) remains a vital lifeline for Palestine refugees.\u00a0 I commend the donors for their support and urge all to step up and provide predictable and sufficient funding to enable UNRWA to fully deliver on its mandate.<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations\u2019 position is clear: \u00a0peace must advance \u2014 the occupation must end.\u00a0 We are steadfast in our commitment to realize the vision of two States \u2014 Israel and Palestine \u2014 living side by side in peace and security, with Jerusalem as the capital of both States.<\/p>\n<p>Together, let us reaffirm our support to the Palestinian people in their quest to achieve their inalienable rights and build a future of peace, justice, security and dignity for all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SG\/SM\/21597 22 NOVEMBER 2022 Fran\u00e7ais\u00a0 Following is UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres\u2019 message on
