UN chief Antonio Guterres blames Security Council paralysis. From Geneva, during the Human Rights Council, he denounced the inaction of the supreme body of the United Nations.

“If the Security Council, one day, demonstrated that it would not be capable of doing anything, then it would be very close to this clinical condition,” he said. The coming weeks will tell whether the Council will reach a compromise on Gaza, warned the head of the UN. An Israeli offensive in Rafah would signify the end of humanitarian aid in the Palestinian enclave, he warned.
