The Paralysis of the United Nations: UN Secretary-General Deplores Security Council’s Inaction in Gaza Conflict

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday deplored the “paralysis” of the United Nations in the face of the war between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas in the Gaza Strip, expressing regret that the Security Council did not vote in favor of a cease-fire.

Speaking at the Doha Forum in Qatar, Antonio Guterres said the Security Council was “paralyzed by geostrategic divisions”, thus compromising its ability to find solutions to the war.

“The authority and credibility of the Security Council have been seriously compromised” by its late response to the conflict, an attack on its reputation aggravated by the veto opposed Friday by the United States to a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, he said.
