UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres sparked a tumultuous diplomatic spat by naming "56 years of suffocating service" as a cause. At the session in New York overnight, he called for an immediate ceasefire, something most Western countries haven't done because it would prevent Israel from taking steps against Hamas. Mr Guterres, Israel's UN ambassador, was "not fit" to lead the body and must resign, according to Israel's UN ambassador. In a round of interviews this morning, UK immigration minister Robert Jenrick said they fell short of encouraging Mr Gutteres to stay in post. It was "wrong" to say that there is no reason for the murder of 1,400 people, including women and babies, as well as hostage taking.

Since Haiti's president was assassinated in July, civil strifes have escalated. However, officials told the New York Times that the United States does not want its own troops to be present in the service. The American military leaders have stated that they do not want to be pulled into a foreign mission that would necessitate significant time and funds. Despite harboring deep resentment at previous foreign interventions, Haiti's government took the brave measure of ordering the military intervention last month.
