“The Security Council effectively shoe-horned Kaag into the existing UN humanitarian framework for Gaza,” Gowan said. “But I think she has handled the sensitivities around it quite deftly, and been careful to avoid trespassing on other UN officials’ turf. She does enjoy an unusually high degree of respect around the UN system.”
"“Kaag moved very quickly to start her shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East,” said Richard Gowan, the UN specialist at the International Crisis Group in New York City. “I think UN officials hope that she can maintain better relations with the Israelis than Guterres and other leading UN figures who clashed with the Netanyahu government in late 2023.”
