I strongly condemn Monday’s incident that led to the killing of two Indonesian @UNIFIL_ peacekeepers in South Lebanon. A third peacekeeper was severely injured & a fourth was also hurt. My deepest condolences to the peacekeepers’ families, friends & colleagues & to Indonesia, and wishing a full & fast recovery to the injured peacekeepers. This is the second fatal incident in 24 hours — following the killing of a peacekeeper in a separate incident on Sunday. Attacks on peacekeepers are grave violations of international humanitarian law. They must stop. No one should ever have to die serving the cause of peace.

If the military escalation in the Middle East continues, up to 3.6 million jobs could be lost — and as many as 4 million people pushed into poverty. Hard-won development gains risk being reversed. More from @UNDP: undp.org/arab-states/pr…

On the occasion of Eid, we extend our warmest wishes to all celebrating. Eid Mubarak.

The war in the Middle East must stop. Diplomacy must prevail. All Security Council resolutions must be implemented. The latest one, resolution 2817, must be respected, as we see that countries in the Gulf continue to be targeted.

All the unlawful attacks in the Middle East and beyond are causing tremendous suffering and harm to civilians throughout the region – and pose a grave a risk to the global economy, particularly to the most vulnerable people. The situation could spiral beyond anyone’s control. It is time to stop the fighting and get to serious diplomatic negotiations. The stakes could not be higher.

"إن استخدام القوة بواسطة كل من الولايات المتحدة وإسرائيل ضد إيران وما تبعه من رد انتقامي إيراني في مختلف أنحاء المنطقة، يقوض السلام والأمن الدوليين." الأمين العام للأمم المتحدة @antonioguterres يدين التصعيد في الشرق الأوسط، ويدعو إلى وقف فوري للأعمال العدائية ويحث جميع الأطراف بشدة على العودة فورا إلى طاولة المفاوضات

"Everything must be done" to prevent wider escalation of war across the Middle East following joint US-Israeli strikes against Iran, and retaliatory action from Tehran targeting multiple countries in the region, @antonioguterres told the Security Council. news.un.org/en/story/2026/…

"We are witnessing a grave threat to international peace and security. (...) Lasting peace can only be achieved through peaceful means, including genuine dialogue and negotiations." - @antonioguterres tells UN Security Council in an emergency meeting

I condemn today’s military escalation in the Middle East. The use of force by the United States & Israel against Iran, and the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace & security.   All Member States must respect their obligations under international law, including the Charter of the @UN. The Charter clearly prohibits “the threat of the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.”   I call for an immediate cessation of hostilities & de-escalation. Failing to do so risks a wider regional conflict with grave consequences for civilians & regional stability. I strongly encourage all parties to return immediately to the negotiating table.   I reiterate that there is no viable alternative to the peaceful settlement of international disputes, in full accordance with international law, including the UN Charter. The Charter provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace and security.

I condemn the military escalation in the Middle East today. The strikes by the US & Israel against Iran & the subsequent attacks by Iran undermine international security. These actions carry the risk of igniting a chain of events that no one can control in the most volatile region of the world. Lasting peace can only be achieved through peaceful means, including genuine dialogue and negotiations. The @UN Charter provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace & security.
