One year ago, we called on those in power to end attacks against humanitarian workers and aid operations. Release all those arbitrarily detained. Safeguard the humanitarian space in the Middle East. That call remains unanswered.

The Israeli plan to intensify military operations in Gaza city will have a horrific humanitarian impact on people already exhausted, malnourished, bereaved, displaced, and deprived of basics needed for survival. Forcing hundreds of thousands to move south is a recipe for further disaster and could amount to forcible transfer. We reiterate our commitment to serve people wherever they are, and we remain present in Gaza city to provide lifesaving support. We remind parties to the conflict of their obligations under international law to protect civilians, including humanitarian workers and those who cannot or choose not to move, and to safeguard humanitarian facilities and other civilian infrastructure.

Our shared humanity demands that this unacceptable catastrophe is brought to an immediate end. Mr. President, I will address three matters today: First, I am extremely concerned over the prolonged conflict and reports of atrocities and further human toll that is likely to unfold following the Government of Israel’s decision to expand military operations in Gaza.

More than 80 per cent of 168 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank so far in 2025 were killed in the northern West Bank, including 60 in Jenin governorate.
