WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY
Tomorrow is World Press Freedom Day. It is a constant reminder that free and independent journalism is an essential public good.
In his message, the Secretary-General says that when journalists are unable to work, we all lose. Tragically, this is becoming more difficult every year.
“We are seeing a sharp rise in the number of journalists killed in conflict areas — particularly in Gaza,” he said.
And this year’s theme is "the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Press Freedom" – The Secretary-General added that artificial intelligence can support freedom of expression — or stifle it.
INTERNATIONAL DAYS
Today is World Tuna Day. Tuna is rich in Omega-3, and it also contains minerals, proteins, and vitamin B12, among other advantages. Unfortunately, though, its popularity has led to overfishing in so many parts of the world.
SECRETARY-GENERAL/PEACEKEEPING
This morning, the Secretary-General took part in a dialogue with peacekeeping troop-contributing countries.
This was a closed meeting, so we won’t be sharing the Secretary-General’s full remarks. But I can tell you that, as you can imagine, he thanked the troop-contributing countries.
Peacekeeping is multilateralism in action, he said, a direct, collective and tangible commitment to peace.
He added that peacekeeping is also a partnership that depends on global political support as well as on the ideas, insights and continued commitment of Member States in the face of a range of increasingly complex risks and challenges, financing for peacekeeping is one of those challenges.
The Peacekeeping Ministerial in Berlin, in two weeks, the Secretary-General said, will be an opportunity to build on this important work.
SYRIA
The Secretary-General has been monitoring with alarm the reports of violence in the Druze-majority suburbs of Damascus and in the south of Syria, including reports of civilian casualties and assassination of local administration figures. He condemns all violence against civilians, including acts which could risk inflaming sectarian tensions.
In this context, he also condemns Israel’s violation of Syria’s sovereignty, including the latest airstrike near the presidential palace in Damascus. It is essential that these attacks stop and that Israel respect Syria’s sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity, and independence.
The Secretary-General unequivocally calls on all concerned to cease all hostilities, exercise utmost restraint and avoid further escalation.
He is encouraged by intra-Syrian efforts to de-escalate the violence and maintain security and stability.
He takes note of the statement by interim President al-Sharaa, prioritizing “dialogue and cooperation within the framework of national unity,” and appeals to the interim authorities to transparently and openly investigate all violations.
The Secretary-General further underscores that it is imperative to support a credible, orderly and inclusive political transition in Syria, in line with the key principles of resolution 2254 (2015).

-------------
On this Day of Vesak, I extend my warmest wishes to Buddhists worldwide as they commemorate the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha.
The Buddha's teachings of compassion, tolerance and selfless service resonate deeply with the values of the United Nations.
In an era of profound global challenges, these timeless principles must guide our shared path forward.

GAZA
In a statement today, Tom Fletcher, the Emergency Relief Coordinator, said that the hostages in Gaza must be released, but international law is unequivocal: As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in. Aid, and the civilian lives it saves, should never be a bargaining chip, he said.
Mr. Fletcher said that the humanitarian movement is independent, impartial and neutral and believes that all civilians are equally worthy of protection. But as the UN Secretary-General has made clear, the latest modality proposed by Israeli authorities does not meet the minimum bar for principled humanitarian support.
He called on the Israeli authorities to lift this brutal blockade and let humanitarians save lives. And he told the civilians of Gaza: We won’t give up, even if the world has given you every reason to give up on us.
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian warns that humanitarian operations continue to be stifled by severe movement restrictions inside Gaza, as well as military activity and attacks that jeopardize the safety of aid workers and their premises.
Recent strikes have reportedly hit residential buildings and tents sheltering displaced people, especially in Rafah and eastern Gaza City. As of this Tuesday, our humanitarian partners estimate that more than 423,000 people in Gaza have been displaced once again, with no safe place to go.
With most commodities unavailable, attacks on humanitarian convoys and looting are increasing, including two incidents in Gaza City yesterday. This not only endangers the lives of aid workers but also disrupts their operations.
The World Health Organization and its partners report severe shortages of vital medicines and medical equipment. They also warn that acute watery diarrhea cases have risen by 4 per cent compared to previous weeks, as the weather gets warmer and hygiene conditions continue to deteriorate.
Meanwhile, our colleagues on the ground have not been enabled to retrieve remaining stocks of desperately needed fuel located in areas that require coordination with Israeli authorities. Eight out of nine such attempts have been denied by the Israeli authorities since mid-April.
Our partners working to provide child protection support warn that children – who make up half of Gaza's population – face escalating levels of trauma, violence and neglect, as ongoing military operations, mass displacement, and funding shortages disrupt education and critical child protection services.
Meanwhile, in the West Bank, today marks 100 days since the Israeli operation in northern areas began, causing a wave of deaths, injuries, destruction and displacement. To date, some 40,000 Palestinians remain displaced and unable to return to their homes.
The UN and our partners continue to respond to the deepening needs of displaced families, including by providing food, water and sanitation assistance, health services, psycho-social support and cash assistance. Since the beginning of the Israeli forces’ operation in the northern West Bank on 21 January, and as of yesterday, nearly 7,000 families have received a first round of cash assistance.

BBC News Video: Prince Harry says King Charles doesn’t speak to him and he wants reconciliation | BBC News
Prince Harry has told the BBC he "would love a reconciliation" with the Royal Family, in an emotional interview in which the Duke of Sussex said he was "devastated" at losing a legal challenge over his security in the UK.
Prince Harry said King Charles "won't speak to me because of this security stuff", but that he did not want to fight anymore and did "not know how much longer my father has".
The Prince was speaking after losing an appeal over the levels of security he and his family are entitled to while in the UK.
Buckingham Palace said: "All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion."
After Friday's court ruling, the prince said: "I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point…. There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family," he added, but had now "forgiven" them.
"I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious," said Prince Harry, who said the dispute over his security had "always been the sticking point".
The prince had wanted to overturn changes to his security that were introduced in 2020 as he stepped down as a working royal and moved to the United States. Saying that he felt "let down", he described his court defeat as a "good old fashioned establishment stitch up" and blamed the Royal Household for influencing the decision to reduce his security.
Asked whether he had asked the King to intervene in the dispute over security, Prince Harry said: "I never asked him to intervene - I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs."
The prince said his treatment during the process of deciding his security had "uncovered my worst fears". He said of the decision: "I'm devastated - not so much as devastated with the loss that I am about the people behind the decision, feeling as though this is okay. Is it a win for them?"
He continued: "I'm sure there are some people out there, probably most likely the people that wish me harm, [who] consider this a huge win."
Prince Harry said the decision to remove his automatic security entitlement impacts him "every single day", and has left him in a position where he can only safely return to the UK if invited by the Royal Family - as he would get sufficient security in those circumstances.

ODN Video: Dramatic Moment Gaza Aid Ship Attacked By Drones Near Malta Coast
Footage shows the moment an aid ship travelling to Gaza caught fire in international waters off the coast of Malta.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) said the front of its ship, The Conscience, was targeted by two drones at 00:23 local time on Friday, and an SOS signal was issued immediately after the attack.
The Maltese government said 12 crew and four activists were on board, while the NGO reported 30 activists aboard.
The vessel was located around 17 nautical miles east of Malta, in international waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
The FFC accused Israel of the attack, saying Israeli ambassadors must answer to “violations of international law”.

Who are the Druze? And why are they being targeted?
The Druze are a secretive religious group with Shia roots, seen as a separate faith.
Druze militias, prominent in Syria's southwest, have an uneasy relationship with Syria's new government, dominated by the Sunni-led HTS group that helped to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.
HTS is a former al-Qaeda affiliate, still listed as a terrorist group in several countries.
Recent sectarian clashes have left over 100 people dead, including Druze fighters and civilians.
