UN Chief Calls for Ceasefire and Two-State Solution

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged a permanent ceasefire, accelerated humanitarian aid, and a two-state solution at the opening of the 2025 session of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People. He stressed that Gaza must be part of an independent Palestinian state for lasting peace.

Guterres condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, citing 50,000 deaths, widespread hunger, and destroyed infrastructure. He called for international support to sustain aid deliveries and warned against ethnic cleansing. He also urged an end to Israeli settler violence and emphasized the need for a unified Palestinian Authority to lead recovery efforts.

Flood Emergency Paralyzes NYC and New Jersey

0

A state of emergency was declared in New Jersey due to severe flash flooding, while parts of New York City, including the subway system, were submerged by heavy rainfall.

Governor Phil Murphy urged residents to stay home, as submerged vehicles and flooded roads paralyzed districts like Somerville and Plainsville. In New York City, subway lines 1, 2, and 3 were suspended, with water pouring into stations like 23rd Street. Social media footage showed stairwells turning into waterfalls and passengers stranded in subway cars.

Floodwaters also disrupted traffic on Manhattan’s FDR Drive. Nearly 18 million people across the East Coast, including in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, remain under flood warnings.
