Emmanuel Macron, President of France, opened the summit, declaring recognition of the State of Palestine as \u201ca way of affirming that the Palestinian people is not a people too many\u201d.\u00a0 While \u201csome might say it\u2019s too late, others might say it\u2019s too early\u201d for recognition, he stressed \u201cwe can no longer wait,\u201d he said. Welcoming the Conference, UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres said<\/em><\/a> that \u201cwithout two States, there will be no peace in the Middle East, and radicalism will spread around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Detailed information on this topic:<\/em><\/p>\n Following the confirmation<\/em><\/a> of famine in Gaza Governorate on 22 August 2025, 45 UN experts issued a joint statement<\/em><\/a> on 5 September emphasizing the famine in Gaza, \u201cdeliberately engineered and perpetuated by Israel \u2013 and enabled by private and security actors \u2013 is an affront to humanity.\u201d In a statement<\/em><\/a> on 7 September, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher demanded urgent action to halt the spread of famine and suffering in Gaza. On 9 September, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child stressed<\/em><\/a> that the \u201cmalnutrition among children is accelerating at a catastrophic pace.\u201d The Committee echoed the\u00a0multiple UN agencies\u2019 warning that, without immediate and unhindered humanitarian access, the \u201cmanmade famine will spread, and more children will die\u201d.<\/p>\n Detailed information on this issue:<\/em><\/p>\n As military operations in Gaza city escalate further, UNICEF warned<\/em><\/a> that it is having \u201cdevastating consequences for over 450,000 children, already traumatized and exhausted by nearly two years of unrelenting war. They are teetering on the edge of survival as both famine and deadly violence spread.\u201d Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General, posted<\/em><\/a> on his official X account that \u201cno place is safe in Gaza. No one is safe. Airstrikes in Gaza City and the north are intensifying.\u201d In addition, the UN Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory condemned the Israeli military\u2019s \u201cwanton destruction of civilian infrastructure\u201d in Gaza City. Meanwhile, in its 10,000th<\/sup> \u00a0meeting, the Security Council on 18 September failed<\/em><\/a> to adopt a resolution<\/em><\/a> calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages and for Israel to immediately and unconditionally lift all restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into the enclave, as the United States vetoed the measure despite affirmative votes by the other 14 members of the 15-nation organ.<\/p>\n More details: <\/em><\/p>\n\n
