What happened Thursday at UNGA: Gaza crisis tops discussions; Africa pushes for Security Council reform; leaders act against ‘superbugs’

At the UN on Thursday, world leaders urged a concerted diplomatic drive to end the war in Gaza and to avert further escalation in the region. Strong demands for genuine UN reform persisted, with several African leaders calling for permanent representation on the Security Council. In two high-level meetings, senior UN officials warned that some of the world’s most effective antibiotics are losing their effectiveness against “superbugs”, while others urged nations to “stop gambling with humanity’s future” by getting rid of nuclear weapons.
