UN Secretary-General António Guterres called on Tuesday for the protection of civilians trapped due to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. He emphasized the necessity of adhering to the principles of distinction, proportionality, and precaution by all parties. Guterres stated in a statement, "Protecting civilians on both sides is of utmost importance and must be respected at all times... International humanitarian law sets out clear rules that cannot be overlooked... it is not a menu that can be selectively chosen and applied."
