By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Today, Israel’s Foreign Minister announced that U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has been denied entry to the country due to his failure to “unequivocally” condemn Iran’s recent missile attack on Israel.
This decision comes after Iran launched over 180 ballistic missiles at Israel amid escalating tensions with Hezbollah in Lebanon, with some missiles breaching Israeli defenses but resulting in no reported casualties.
According to Reuters, Guterres issued a statement referencing only the “latest attacks in the Middle East” and condemning the conflict “with escalation after escalation”.
Israeli foreign minister Israel Katz, said Guterres’ failure to call out Iran made him persona non grata in Israel.
Katz emphasized that anyone who does not condemn Iran’s actions, as many other nations have, should not be allowed in Israel.
Katz asserted that Israel remains committed to defending its citizens and national dignity, regardless of Guterres’ presence.
