4. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“I receive you, Mr. President, in a moment of great concern. I made today a very strong appeal to the Government of Israel and to the leadership of the Hamas in order to go an extra mile to materialize an agreement that is absolutely vital. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed. And the ground invasion in Rafah would be intolerable because of its devastating humanitarian consequences and because of its destabilizing impact in the region.”
