The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, made an emotional plea for a ceasefire and a political resolution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict during a discussion about the Gaza health emergency.
Describing the situation in Gaza as “hellish,” he urged for peace and a true solution, emphasizing the need to avoid war and choose peace.
His comments were met with criticism from Israel’s ambassador, who accused the WHO of ignoring Hamas’ actions and colluding with the militant group.
“I’m a true believer because of my own experience that war doesn’t bring solution, except more war, more hatred, more agony, more destruction. So let’s choose peace and resolve this issue politically,” Tedros said.
“I think all of you have said the two-state solution and so on, and hope this war will end and move into a true solution,” he said.
“The statement by the director-general was the embodiment of everything that is wrong with WHO since October 7th. No mention of the hostages, the rapes, the murder of Israelis, nor the militarisation of hospitals and Hamas’ despicable use of human shields,” Meirav Eilon Shahar stated.
Tedros also warned of the potential for more deaths due to starvation and disease in Gaza.
