Guterres told U.N. Security Council that if implemented, annexation would constitute a most serious violation of international law.

Guterres also called on Middle East Quartet of mediators- United States, Russia, European Union and United Nations to take up our mandated mediation role and find a mutually agreeable framework for parties to re-engage without preconditions.
