JAKARTA - UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres again urged a humanitarian ceasefire immediately in Gaza after the Israeli attack had claimed more than 24,000 Palestinians' lives and created a humanitarian disaster.

"The world is on their lap when civilians, mostly women and children, are killed, deformed, bombarded, forced to leave their homes, and not given access to humanitarian aid," Guterres said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

"I repeat my call to immediately carry out a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, and a process that leads to sustainable peace for Israel and Palestine, based on a two-state solution," he said.

This is the only way to stop suffering and prevent bad effects that can cause the entire region to collapse.

He warned full confrontation with Lebanon would have a very bad impact and should be avoided by all means.

"What we are seeing in the Red Sea, all of this shows that these efforts are not enough," he added.

Guterres stressed the importance of overcoming the humanitarian situation in Gaza, implementing a ceasefire, and releasing the hostages.

"However, we need to find a full commitment so that the international community supports the two-state solutions in Israel and Palestine as the basis for creating a stable and peaceful Middle East in the interests of all," he said.

Guterres menyatakan ada pelanggaran hukum internasional yang meluas di seluruh dunia, di mana negara-negara mengabaikan atau bahkan melanggar hukum.

Starting from the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine, Sudan, and Gaza, the parties in the conflict ignore international law, trampled on the Geneva Convention, and even violated the UN Charter, Guterres said.

Israel is currently being sued by South Africa at the International Court on charges of genocide in Gaza, which the United Nations has repeatedly declared a violation of international law.

However, Israel denies the allegations of genocide by claiming that it is only trying to protect its own people.
