On Nov. 8, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in an interview with Reuters that “when one looks at the number of civilians that were killed with the military operations, there is something that is clearly wrong…. Every year, the highest number of killings of children by any of the actors in all the conflicts that we witness is the maximum in the hundreds,” Guterres said. “We have in a few days in Gaza thousands and thousands of children killed.”
While the Hamas actions were atrocious, “we need to distinguish—Hamas is one thing, the Palestinian people another. If we don’t make that distinction, I think it’s humanity itself that will lose its meaning,” Guterres said.
