Guterres: The situation in the Middle East has become more critical

According to RCO News Agency, the special meeting of the UN Security Council started on Wednesday evening to review the developmes in the West Asian region.

At the beginning of this meeting, Switzerland’s ambassador to the United Nations, who is currely the ierim chairman of the Security Council, called for maiaining respect for existing differences of opinion.

Israel rejected the ceasefire offer

“Aonio Guterres”, the Secretary General of the United Nations, said at the beginning of his speech: “The fires of tension in the Middle East are getting out of corol. Last week I warned about the situation in the region, but this crisis has become much worse. In the General Assembly meeting, I announced that the daily exchange of fire between Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Israel violates UN Treaty 1701 and other UN treaties.

He added: “Lebanon’s territorial iegrity should be respected and its governme should have corol over all weapons in this coury.” “In the past days, we have seen an unprecedeed escalation of tensions, and now we have to ask ourselves what exactly is the purpose of the Security Council and its mechanism to impleme the 1701 Treaty.”

Referring to the crimes of the Zionist regime, the UN Secretary General said: “Israeli forces are carrying out heavy air strikes against Lebanon and Beirut. America, France and many couries proposed a ceasefire, and Israel, after opposing this proposal, bombarded Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut and iensified its attacks.

He added: “Yesterday, Israel claimed the start of a limited operation and began its ground attack against Lebanon. UNIFIL peacekeeping forces have remained in place against Israel’s will, and their security must be maiained.”

“Civilians are suffering and I strongly condemn this,” Guterres said. “Since last October, more than a thousand Lebanese have been killed in Lebanon, many of whom were women and children.”

He added: “Nearly one million people have been displaced and many have taken refuge in Syria. “The United Nations is using all its capabilities to help Lebanon and send humanitarian packages to this coury.”

The Secretary General of the United Nations stated: “We must preve a full-scale war in Lebanon. Since October 8, Hezbollah attacks against Israel have left 49 dead and 60,000 displaced. “If war breaks out in Lebanon, the consequences will be irreparable.”

Guterres said, “Yesterday, Iran fired nearly 200 missiles against Israel.” According to Iran, Iran’s goal was to avenge the death of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Seyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, and Abbas Nilfroushan in Lebanon, and millions of people in Israel and occupied Palestine were forced to flee to shelters.

He condemned this attack and said: “Similar to Iran’s missile attack in April, I condemn this attack.”

Guterres claimed: “This attack was not carried out in order to defend the rights of Palestinians.”

Nevertheless, he said: “Since October 7, Israel has carried out the most severe attacks against the Gaza Strip and is iensifying its attacks, its operations and occupation in the West Bank and the destruction of the two-state solution.”

Guterres also stated: “Despite all these issues, the Palestinian resistance has coinued its operations.”

He said: “Last year’s developmes are a confirmation of the urge need to achieve a ceasefire and impleme the two-state solution.”

Guterres said about Lebanon: “Treaties of 1701 and 1559 must be implemeed and tensions must stop. “The time has come to stop the tension after the tension in the Middle East, and every stage of tension has been used as an excuse to escalate the tension.”

He added: “Ignoring the UN treaties should not coinue.”

France demanded Iran’s restrai

The represeative of France in the Security Council said in a special meeting of this council to review developmes in the region: “France condemns Iran’s ballistic attacks. “We se our forces to the region to couer Iran’s attacks.”

He further called for Iran’s restrai and not to carry out new attacks and said: “France also condemns yesterday’s terrorist attack in Israel.”

The represeative of France coinued: “The situation in Lebanon is serious. Israeli forces violated the coury’s territorial iegrity by attacking Lebanon, and Hezbollah coinues its attacks against Israel.

He added: “We are against any ground attack on Lebanon. “France condemns Israel’s airstrikes against Lebanon, which have resulted in the killing of civilians, and Hezbollah’s attacks against Israel.”

The represeative of France stated: “We ask Israel to accept the proposal of France and its allies for a ceasefire. The 1701 treaty must be implemeed in Lebanon. All displaced citizens in Lebanon and Israel must return to their homes. “All parties must also guaraee the security of UNIFIL peacekeeping forces.”

He we on to discuss the Gaza crisis and said: “France also emphasizes the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, full access of Gazan civilians to humanitarian aid, the release of prisoners and efforts to achieve a two-state solution.” The time has come to unite the Security Council. “We must show that the Security Council was peace and de-escalation.”

British support for the Zionist regime

While expressing the unconditional support of the British governme to the Zionist regime and the security of this occupying regime, the represeative of the United Kingdom in the United Nations said at the beginning of his speech at the special meeting of the Security Council to review the rece developmes in West Asia: “The United Kingdom is against Iran’s actions and its attack on Israel. strongly condemns “Iran has fired more than 200 ballistic missiles against Israel, this action will iensify the curre dangerous situation.”

He added: “As the British Prime Minister has announced, we support Israel against Iran.”

The British represeative coinued, while ignoring the crimes of the Zionist regime and the developmes in the region, in hostile statemes, he said: “The conditions in Lebanon and the eire region are critical. All our efforts should be focused on stopping these tensions. We ask Iran and its allies to exercise restrai. The British Foreign Minister has always called for a ceasefire in Lebanon and a stop to Israeli and Lebanese attacks.

He added: “We support the implemeation of the 1701 treaty in Lebanon, the ceasefire in Gaza and the release of prisoners. “UK calls on Israel and Hamas to agree to a ceasefire and choose peace to end this crisis.”

He stated: “Peace is a brave choice. The best option to maiain the security stability of Israelis, Lebanese and Palestinians and the eire region is peace. The British Prime Minister is trying to gain support for a political solution. “Only peace in Gaza and Lebanon can lead to peace and the return of Lebanese and Israeli citizens to their homes.”

The British Permane Represeative to the United Nations said: “The conflict in Lebanon has had irreparable consequences against women and children and has pushed the region towards an all-out war. “We must not allow Lebanon to become another Gaza.”

He stated: “All parties must respect iernational laws and preve killing and harming civilians.”

The British represeative also called for restrai from all parties in the region and a concerated effort to achieve a ceasefire and peace in the region.

America’s hostile statemes against Iran

The Permane Represeative of the United States to the United Nations condemned Iran’s missile attacks against the Zionist regime and said: “The United States condemns the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ missile attack on Israel.”

The American represeative further claimed: “The Security Council must condemn Iran’s unilateral action.” Iran has been an accomplice in the October 7 attack by training Hamas and providing financial resources to this group, and after the attack by Hamas, America se a serious warning to Iran and demanded that Iran not use this situation. But the army has ignored this warning. With the encourageme of Yemen’s Houthis, maritime trade has suffered a crisis and Israel has been the target of their attacks.

He claimed: “Iran, with the encourageme of the Iraqi and Syrian forces, the American forces, has been the target of attacks by these forces, and by encouraging and supporting Hezbollah, Tehran made Nasrallah target Israel after October 7. There is no doubt that Iran’s support for its proxy forces has caused the crisis in Lebanon and Gaza.

While ignoring the crimes of the Zionist regime and supporting this occupying regime, the American represeative said: “At the core of Iran’s efforts to escalate tension in the region and create chaos is the IRGC. The IRGC and its allies are spreading their propaganda. The IRGC’s missile attack, which fired 200 missiles at Israel, did not take place in defense of Iran. Rather, the IRGC is cooperating with Hezbollah. The Security Council should impose wider sanctions against the IRGC.”

The American represeative added: “If the Security Council does not take a serious decision, the IRGC will coinue its attacks.” “We are exposed to the occurrence of an all-out war in the region.”

Without referring to the attacks of the Zionist regime on Lebanon, he said: “In rece weeks, many civilians have been killed in Lebanon. Israel has always called for an end to Hezbollah’s attacks. “Despite the Lebanese governme’s desire for Hezbollah to withdraw, this group has opposed and preveed the implemeation of the 1701 treaty, and despite all these developmes, Israel still was to impleme this treaty.”

The represeative of the United States claimed: “The United States supports the diplomatic solution and this issue remains the priority of the United States.” “The implemeation of the 1701 treaty is the only way to de-escalate the curre situation and return Israeli and Lebanese citizens to their homes.”

In his remarks, he meioned the crimes of the occupying regime that have resulted in the martyrdom of thousands of Lebanese, and said: “We ask all parties to protect the lives of civilians.”

The American represeative coinued to talk about Gaza and said: “The United States will not spare any efforts to achieve a cessation of war in Gaza.” In this regard, we are trying to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of prisoners in line with Security Council Treaty 2735. Last week’s developmes should send a clear message to Hamas leaders hiding in their tunnels. “Hezbollah and Iran will not save you and the only way now is a ceasefire.”

He added: “The United States will coinue to support Israel’s right to defend itself against the terrorist forces supported by Iran.” Of course, how Israel defends itself against these threats is importa. Israel must minimize civilian casualties. As the Preside of the United States has stated, Washington will always and fully support Israel. “All our actions have been defensive.”

The American represeative claimed: “We warn Iran and its proxies against new actions against Israel or American forces, and the Security Council must condemn Iran for supporting terrorism.” The time has come for Iran’s Security Council to be held accouable for its actions. The resides of Israel, Lebanon, the eire region and the West Bank and Gaza deserve a ceasefire.”
