UN Secretary-General António Guterres has issued a stark warning regarding what he calls the "El Niño of wars," where global conflicts amplify one another, worsening human suffering and economic disparities. Speaking in New York, Guterres noted that the impact of these wars destabilizes energy systems and supply chains. Addressing the situation in Palestine, he criticized the severe restrictions on humanitarian aid to Gaza and condemned settler violence in the occupied West Bank. He called for an immediate end to the occupation, adherence to international law, and a path toward a two-state solution. Furthermore, he appealed for $450 million in funding to support essential humanitarian operations in the region over the coming months.
