Israel’s Overseas Minister, Israel Katz, introduced on Wednesday that United Nations Secretary-Common António Guterres has been declared persona non grata ( an unacceptable individual) and banned from getting into the nation, accusing him of bias towards Israel.
The choice got here amid rising tensions between Israel and the UN, with Katz stating that Guterres has didn’t unequivocally condemn the latest assaults towards Israel by Iran and different teams.
Katz criticized the UN chief for not denouncing the 7 October bloodbath dedicated by Hamas, nor main efforts to categorise the group as a terrorist group.
“Anybody who can’t unequivocally condemn Iran’s heinous assault on Israel, as nearly each nation on the earth has accomplished, doesn’t need to step foot on Israeli soil,” Katz stated in a assertion.
He went on to accuse Guterres of supporting teams like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, labeling him a “stain on the historical past of the UN.”
The ban comes on account of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed launching dozens of missiles at Israel in retaliation for the killings of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders.
Israel reported that round 10 million civilians had been pressured to hunt shelter. The assault got here on account of Israel’s floor raids into Lebanon.
