UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called for a de-escalation of violence in the Middle East following Iran's recent attack on Israel. During an emergency session requested by the Permanent Representative of Israel, Guterres emphasized the need for maximum restraint to prevent further conflict.
Guterres expressed concern over the escalating tensions in the region, warning of the potential for a devastating full-scale conflict. He urged all parties involved to step back from the brink and avoid actions that could lead to major military confrontations in the Middle East.
