"This is a wrong choice that does not advance the cause of peace. It only damages the U.N.'s reputation," Ukraine's Foreign Ministry said.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres arrived at the BRICS summit in the Russian city of Kazan on Oct. 22, despite criticism from Ukraine, Voice of America reported.

The BRICS group, a bloc of countries that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates, is convening in Kazan for a three-day summit from Oct. 22-24. According to Moscow, 36 world leaders are participating in the conference.

Guterres is expected to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the event on Oct. 24, according to Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov.

Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry criticized the U.N. secretary general’s visit.

    Why do Palestinians have to leave for Jordan and Egypt and why are Jordan ang Egypt expected to take them? Israel could just let them live in their homes like any decent person would expect.

    Israël is filled with people that left where they lived be cause of either anti semitism or the pull to the settler colonial project.

    Anti-Semitism because of Israel’s actions. If you’re a state known for killing and displacing Arabs, you don’t expect Arab’s to be nice to you. Israel has dragged Jewish reputation through the mud through their actions.

    An easy solution there is not.

    There literally is. Stop killing and displacing Arabs. It’s not that hard.

      They don’t have to leave perse… but they could use these borders to trade and travel… but these borders are also shut… for the good of the Palestinians or something…

      And yeah, leave them in the west bank and Gaza.

      Antisemitism because of Israel… some yeah, most “just because”… Bit silly to ascribe it all to that.

      And hating Jews because the israeli government you associate them with, is doing wrong shit, leads to more violence…maybe even Jews that take their stuff and move to Israel. These will not be the most open minded well adjusted people.

      And yes they should stop killing people. But how do we make the peace structural and not just a reprieve until the next flare up.

        Their entire system of government is only allowed at the discretion of Israel, and we all know how Israel treats them. So they can’t leave, they can’t self govern, they can’t extract the resources of their own land. What on earth do you expect them to do?

        I never said the hatred was justified. But if Israel didn’t do what it has been doing for the past 70+ years then the Jewish reputation wouldn’t be as dogshit as it is now.

        How do you make peace? Stop killing people would be a good start don’t you think?
