United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday disclosed what he said was a long-time dream that the Holy Land be home to two states, with a Jerusalem which is shared by three religions, the UN News Center reported.

He added that he has expressed his opposition to the settlement activity in the region.

Calling himself an impartial "honest broker" and a "messenger of peace," Guterres noted that Members of the UN are sovereign countries with their own interests, values and convictions.

"To be an honest broker means that all countries must be treated equally both by the Secretary-General and the Secretariat that the Secretary-General directs. This is for me very clear and you can be sure that these values will be upheld," he said.
