UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warns Prime Minister Netanyahu against turning to the court in The Hague due to the entry of security forces into the UNRWA complex in Kafr Aqab. "I am forced to write once again to express my grave concern regarding the violation of the immunity of the UNRWA complex in East Jerusalem." Danon: "We will not be moved by threats."

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres admitted that many of the UN's independent reporters have "completely gone out of control."

Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara announced his desire for a peace settlement with Israel, while emphasizing that Syria will not relinquish the Golan Heights. UN Secretary-General António Guterres joined him, labeling the territory as occupied Syrian land.
