The UN’s special coordinator for Middle East peace warned Tuesday that the region was at its “most dangerous juncture” in decades, as the war between Israel and Iran-backed groups risks “serious escalation.”

“We have now entered the second year of this horrific conflict, and the region is on the verge of yet another serious escalation,” Tor Wennesland told the Security Council, adding that “the violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and wider region shows no signs of abating.”
