UN chief condemns the way that Israel waged war on civilians and infrastructure in Gaza

UN chief Antonio Gueterres criticised the way Israel had conducted it's war on Gaza in an interview with Reuters on Thursday, saying that Israel had destroyed Gaza but not Hamas.

"I think there was something fundamentally wrong in the way this operation was conducted with total neglect in relation to the deaths of civilians and to the destruction of Gaza," he told Reuters Editor-in-Chief Alessandra Gallon.

"The objective was to destroy Hamas. Gaza is destroyed, but Hamas is not yet destroyed. So there is something fundamentally wrong with the way this is conducted."
