The United Nations, UN, Secretary General, Antonio Guterres has been declared a persona non-grata and banned from entering Israel following the latest attacks from Iran.
Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Israel Katz made the declaration over Guterres’ silence on Iran’s latest attack on Israel.
On Tuesday, Iran launched over 180 ballistic missiles into Israel.
The Israeli military said it received no reports of injuries from the Iranian missile attack.
However, posting on X, Katz wrote: “Today, I have declared UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres persona non grata in Israel and banned him from entering the country.
“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.
“This is a Secretary-General who has yet to denounce the massacre and sexual atrocities committed by Hamas murderers on October 7, nor has he led any efforts to declare them 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.”
