Israel has demanded the resignation of U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, accusing him of “tolerating and justifying” terrorism. Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resulted in over 700 casualties in a single day, with medical facilities closing due to damage and power shortages. The death toll is unprecedented in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, signaling a potential further loss of life when Israeli ground forces launch an expected offensive against Hamas. Guterres, addressing the U.N. Security Council, highlighted the dire situation in the Middle East and the impact of 56 years of Palestinian occupation. Gaza faces severe shortages of food, water, and medicine as a result of the conflict.
