UN: Political process cannot succeed while Gaza remains devastated, violence escalates in West Bank

NEW YORK, July 29 (YPA) – The United Nations warned on Tuesday that a political process cannot succeed while Gaza remains devastated and violence escalates in the West Bank.

Briefing the UN Security Council (UNSC) on the situation in the occupied West Bank, Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Ramiz Alakbarov stated: “Gaza’s reconstruction cannot be sustained in the absence of a political process. Similarly, a political process cannot succeed while Gaza remains devastated, violence escalates in the West Bank, Palestinian institutions remain divided, and security conditions continue to deteriorate.”

“The situation in the West Bank is rapidly deteriorating as we have witnessed in the last few days. This is compounding the already alarming conditions across the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, with a wider escalation increasingly likely unless immediate steps are taken to reverse course,” he added.

He stressed the need for the full implementation of the “Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict” and UNSC Resolution 2803 (2025).
