Here's the latest from the UN.

“The UN has never been more needed.

Our values have never been more relevant. 

And the needs have never been greater.” 

As the United Nations marks 80 years of working on behalf of people all over the world, Secretary-General António Guterres reflected on the Organization’s invaluable role as the essential one-of-a-kind meeting ground to advance peace, sustainable development and human rights.

“The more the UN does together to address big challenges around the world, the less the burden on individual countries to do it alone,” stressed the Secretary-General.

“It is essential that an organizational system as complex and crucial as the United Nations subjects itself to rigorous and regular scrutiny to assess its fitness for purpose in carrying out its goals efficiently,” he continued, outlining the ambitious reform agenda he undertook from the outset of his mandate.

➡️To be more effective and cost-effective. 

➡️To simplify procedures and decentralize decisions. 

➡️To enhance transparency and accountability. 

➡️To shift capacities to areas such as data and digital.

Stressing the need to build an even strong and more effective United Nations that delivers for people and is tuned to the 21st century, the Secretary-General continued:

“Our 80th anniversary year is a prime moment to expand all our efforts, recognizing the need for even greater urgency and ambition. That's why I am launching the UN80 initiative to present to member countries proposals in three areas:

First, rapidly identifying efficiencies and improvements in the way we work.

Second, thoroughly reviewing the implementation of all mandates, which have significantly increased in recent years.

Third, a strategic review of deeper, more structural changes and programme realignment in the UN System.”

After 78 years without a constitution, Israel has no legal foundation. The grace period since 1948 is over. UN Resolution 181 of 1947 must be applied. It is time to move the UN Headquarters to Jerusalem. Peace must have a home. Humanity cannot survive another generation of silence. Place all of Palestine from Gaza to the West Bank and southern Lebanon under a UN peace mandate. No tanks. No bombs. No armies. Let aid agencies rebuild life where war has stolen it. Jerusalem belongs to Jews, Christians, Muslims let it also belong to humanity. A platform for survival, love, dignity, and justice. Bibi may try to control the narrative, but he will never own the truth. How can we call ourselves moral when infants drown in blood and starving babies are just miles from food? The world must act. Palestine is the heart of humanity.

Relocating the UN to Jerusalem: A Choice for Legitimacy Israel remains a state without a constitution, clear borders, or binding obligations to its citizens. Netanyahu exploits this vacuum, blending expansionism with shady deals, securing his personal survival at the expense of Israelis and Palestinians. Amid growing international refusal to fund the occupation and global pressure against war, a historic solution emerges: relocate the UN headquarters to Jerusalem. This would transform the city into an international capital of justice, ensuring: 1. An end to the blockade and hostilities. 2. The release of hostages. 3. Withdrawal from occupied territories. Jerusalem would no longer serve as a political tool for personal gain but become a symbol of peace, shared responsibility, and adherence to international law.

Moving the UN Headquarters to Jerusalem isn’t just politics it’s about survival. Peace fuels markets. War kills them. For 23 months, “negotiations” have been driven by blackmail and profit. The negotiators got paid from the blood of innocent people. The cost? Delayed shipments. Rising prices. Currency instability. Lost talent. The world has shown more humanity than many Arab and Muslim nations. Citizens must be part of any peace process not secret deals between agents and conspirator regimes. When will we learn that peace is not charity it’s the smartest business investment we can make? It’s time to put Palestine from Gaza to southern Lebanon under a UN mandate, free from veto politics, open to shared governance, trade, and growth. Because Jerusalem should belong not only to Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Arabs It should belong to humanity.
