UN chief says Israel doesn't look interested in ‘serious negotiation for ceasefire' in Gaza

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday refrained from defining the situation in the Gaza Strip as genocide but described it as "horrendous."

In response to a question on the UN Commission of Inquiry's decision that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, Guterres said: "It is not in the attributions of the Secretary-General to do the legal determination of genocide that belongs to the adequate judicial entities, namely the International Court of Justice."

"What happens in Gaza today is horrendous," he said at a news conference.
