Why Israel is locked in a big spat with UN chief
FirstpostAs Israel continues its fierce bombardment of the Gaza Strip, it finds itself locked in a bitter spat with the United Nations. As this humanitarian catastrophe unfolds, Israel is locked in a new spat with the United Nations – with Jerusalem demanding that Secretary General Antonio Guterres resign and denying visas to UN representatives. Definitely this is not our world," Israeli FM @elicoh1 at the UN Security Council pic.twitter.com/oUKUTp7wdO — Israel Foreign Ministry October 25, 2023 Cohen added that the killing of the 1,400 people, including women and children, by Hamas constituted a massacre that would “go down in history as more brutal” than those committed by the Islamic State group. He further declared “Hamas as the new Nazis” and said: “Just as the civilised world united to defeat the Nazis, just as the civilised world united to defeat, the civilised world has to stand united behind Israel to defeat Hamas.” Responding to the UN’s call for a ceasefire, he stated, “Tell me, what is a proportionate response for killing of babies, for rape [of> women and burn them, for beheading a child? “There is no way to say that António Guterres is in any way excusing terrorism.” The Portuguese foreign minister also dismissed Israel’s calls for Guterres — who is Portuguese — to resign.
