The speed and scale of the killing and destruction in Gaza are unlike anything in my years as secretary-general... Gaza is a nonstop nightmare that threatens to take the entire region with it.
There are more than 40,000 fatal victims, most of them women and children. The right to defence has become the right to revenge, which prevents an agreement to release hostages and postpones the ceasefire.
As we look ahead, we must also address the rise of violence against innocent Palestinians on the West Bank and set the conditions for a better future, including a two-state solution.
I put forward with Qatar and Egypt a ceasefire and hostage deal... It must mobilise for an immediate ceasefire and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.
