UN chief says 37,000 West Bank Palestinians displaced in 2025; warns Gaza war threatens two-state solution

NEW YORK CITY: More than 37,000 Palestinians were displaced in the occupied West Bank during 2025, a year in which there were also record-high levels of violence committed by Israeli settlers, UN secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Tuesday. The situation on the ground was rapidly eroding the prospects for a two-state solution, he warned. “We enter 2026 with the clock ticking louder than ever,” Guterres told the opening session of the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People.
