He steps down because of his Retirement - not because of the Hamas - Israel war. Suggesting otherwise, is Disinformation.
“Retiring” and “resigning” are different things. He may have been near retirement age, but the statement he made makes it clear this was a resignation for a cause. With a good reason.
Quit framing the war as the cause. From the article:
So he informed the UN in March 2023 that he wanted to step down and now he did it.
So the letter was just for funsies? Seems like he was planning on retiring soon, and that date was moved up for reasons outlined in his letter.
Being near retirement age, and retiring are two different things. The timing of this retirement is clearly coupled with the current genocide.
If he was a man in his early '40s, stepping down from a UN platform would have more personal sacrifice, which would give the narrative greater impact, sure. But as an elder statesman, making a grandstand as your final exit also has good impact.
Yes I agree it’s misleading (and I’m OP). The first paragraph especially.
