Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo completed today a visit to Israel, the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Jordan. The war in Gaza and the 7 October attacks that triggered it were at the centre of her discussions.<\/p>\n

On 19-20 November, in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, the Under-Secretary-General met with President Isaac Herzog and other senior Israeli officials, as well as with families of Israeli hostages taken on 7 October. On 21 November in Ramallah, she held talks with Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh and other Palestinian leaders. She also met with the Palestinian Red Crescent leadership.<\/p>\n

During the visit,\u00a0Under-Secretary-General\u00a0DiCarlo spent time with Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ staff, including from Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA, who have been working to bring needed relief to civilians in Gaza. She paid tribute to the dozens of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ colleagues who have paid the ultimate price during the violence.<\/p>\n

Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo concluded her visit on 22 November with meetings in Amman.<\/p>\n

Throughout her visit, Under-Secretary-General DiCarlo expressed her deep concern over the continued loss of life in Gaza following the abhorrent attacks of 7 October. She reiterated the Secretary-General\u2019s three priorities: 1) achieving a humanitarian ceasefire and improving humanitarian access in the Strip; 2) the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages; and 3) preventing the escalation or expansion of the conflict.\u00a0She welcomed\u00a0the recent announcement of an agreement on release of hostages and a humanitarian pause\u00a0but said much more must be done.<\/p>\n

She also listened to the views of her interlocutors regarding ending the conflict, emphasizing the absolute need for all to commit to a political horizon through a two-state solution allowing Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace, security and dignity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
