"Israel will continue to defend its citizens and uphold its national dignity, with or without António Guterres," he concluded.
Israel's foreign minister declared UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres 'persona non grata' and was henceforth banning him from entering Israel, according to a post on X/Twitter on Wednesday.
The ban on entry, said FM Israel Katz, was due to Guterres's failure to "unequivocally condemn" Iran's massive missile attack on Israel.
"Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran's heinous attack on Israel, as almost every country in the world has done, does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil," Katz wrote.
He added that Guterres is yet to denounce the October 7 massacre, which is approaching its one year anniversary, or condemn Hamas's use of sexual violence.
Katz also criticized the Guterres for not leading "any efforts to declare [Hamas] a terrorist organization."
"A Secretary-General who gives backing to terrorists, rapists, and murderers from Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and now Iran—the mothership of global terror—will be remembered as a stain on the history of the UN."
"Israel will continue to defend its citizens and uphold its national dignity, with or without António Guterres," he concluded.
Following Israel's invasion of Lebanon on Monday, Guterres posted on X/Twitter that he was concerned with the escalation and said an "all-out war must be avoided in Lebanon at all costs, and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon must be respected."
Following the Iran attack on Israel on Tuesday night, Guterres called for a ceasefire.
Israel was not mentioned in the posts.
The UN has been unequivocally shown to be Hamas. The unending miles and miles of sunteranian Gaza tunnel fortresses was paid fo by UN Aid to Palestine.
The Lame Duck American President is once again purchasing Hamas tunnels.
US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.
Bibi does not lack in the Balls department.
This is a great start. It’s time to shut that enemy of American sovereignty down. A Cold War dinosaur operated by freeloading third worlders.
This is absolutely the right decision from Israel. As a matter of fact, it should be the right decision for all Western civilized countries. The UN is corrupt to its core and shares no values with western civilization. Eliminate funding. Throw the UN out of the United States. Let’s see if China or Russia feel like supporting these freeloaders in the name of Marxist expansion and Islamic jihad.
Excellent. Unlike Harris & Biden’s modus operandi enemies should not be welcomed into the Country.
It’s like Kurt Waldheim never left.
Under threat of arrest?
Guterres is a third world fraud. He blames America AND AMERICANS for everything.
It’s time that the UN was designated a terrorist organization.
They applauded Zelensky when he told them aggression must not be tolerated.
But they walked out on Bibi.
I have been saying it since 1978!!
Guterres is yet to denounce the October 7 massacre, which is approaching its one year anniversary, or condemn Hamas's use of sexual violence.
Will Guterres be visiting Iran?
