UN Secretary-General Candidate Calls for Gaza Peace Based on Oslo, Abraham Accords
A contender for the top UN post said resolving major conflicts, including in Gaza, would be a priority, citing the organization's core mandate on peace and security.
A candidate for the position of United Nations secretary-general has said that peace in Gaza should be pursued on the basis of the Oslo Accords and the Abraham Accords, according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
The candidate described the resolution of major conflicts as one of the issues he intends to prioritize if selected for the role, TASS reported.
According to the report, the candidate noted that international peace, security, and international cooperation constitute "the core mandate of the United Nations."
The Oslo Accords, signed in the 1990s, established a framework for Israeli-Palestinian relations and limited Palestinian self-governance in parts of the West Bank and Gaza. The Abraham Accords, brokered in 2020, normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states, including the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
TASS did not provide additional details on the candidate's specific proposals for applying these frameworks to the current situation in Gaza. Further information about the candidate's identity and the broader race for the UN secretary-general position was not included in the available excerpt.
