The unprecedented situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory has had a devasting human impact. I join António Guterres in calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and release of hostages. My statement with details of @ILO response: ilo.org/global/about-t…

We open the ILO Governing Body at a time of alarming geopolitical tension and heart-breaking human suffering. @ILO has a mandate to promote #SocialJustice, which is the foundation of lasting peace. As the home of tripartite dialogue, we can & must contribute to universal peace.
