Israel's Foreign Ministry Declares UN Secretary General Guterres Persona Non Grata
84
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has been declared persona non grata in Israel, the country's Foreign Minister Israel Katz said. He said the UN Secretary-General is banned from entering Israel because of his refusal to condemn missile Iran strike.
Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran's heinous attack on Israel, as almost every country in the world has done, is not worthy of setting foot on Israeli soil. This is the Secretary General, who has yet to condemn the massacre and sexual crimes committed by Hamas murderers on October 7, and has not contributed to the decisions to designate them as a terrorist organization.
- Katz said.
He also accused Guterres of supporting Hamas and Hezbollah and promised to continue to defend the country's national interests.
Israel will continue to protect its citizens and maintain its status and national honor with or without Antonio Guterres
– promised the head of the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
It is worth noting that the indignation of Israeli diplomats was caused by a publication authored by Antonio Guterres on a social network, in which he simply called for a speedy ceasefire in the Middle East, without even mentioning Iran or Israel.
Recall that the day before, Tehran launched a massive missile strike on Israeli territory, calling it a retaliatory action for the murder of Hamas Politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh and the liquidation of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah. Israel has already promised to launch a retaliatory strike on Iran.
