Senior Hamas official Ezzat al-Resheq said on Wednesday that the Israeli occupation government wants to make UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres its mouthpiece and a puppet that moves according to its agendas.
“The Israeli occupation’s foreign ministry wants UN secretary-general [Antonio] Guterres to be a spokesperson for its aggression and terrorism and a marionette that moves according to its bloodthirsty agenda,” Resheq said in press remarks on Wednesday.
“It is a disgrace for the international community to allow this rogue entity, which violates all international norms, values and laws and regulations, to keep its chair at the United Nations and its institutions,” Resheq emphasized.
Israel’s foreign minister has declared UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres “persona non grata” and barred him from entering Israeli areas and the occupied territories.
Israeli foreign minister Israel Katz on Wednesday accused Guterres of failing to “unequivocally” condemn Iran’s 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 on X.
