António Guterres “lost his conscience”, “attacks Israel” and “appeases terrorist organizations”. The accusations against the Secretary General of the United Nations were launched this Thursday by the Israeli Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, after a Hezbollah attack that killed five civilians in northern Israelamong them an Israeli citizen and four international workers. Guterres has not yet commented on this attack.
“The UN Secretary General did not bother to condemn Hezbollah or call for sanctions against them. “He is only busy attacking Israel and appeasing terrorist organizations and the Iranian axis of evil that calls for destruction,” Katz criticized in a post on his website. unknownin which he sent his condolences to the families of the victims. To illustrate this criticism of Guterres’ approach to Tehran, Katz shared an image, apparently generated by Artificial Intelligence, of the secretary general, kneeling at the feet of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Five citizens were killed this morning by direct fire from Hezbollah towards the Israeli town of Metula, including an Israeli farmer and four foreign workers. I send my deepest condolences to the families.

The minister extended the criticism to the entire organization, stating that both Guterres and the entire UN “have lost their conscience and compass a long time ago.” This position of Israel against the United Nations has been consolidating in recent months, but has been accentuated in recent weeks. First, António Guterres declares persona non grata. And this week they banned the UN agency for Palestinian refugees from operating in Israel.

António Guterres has consistently called for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and an end to Israeli attacks on the Palestinian people, which have killed more than 43,000 people. He even stated that only the bravery of the Palestinians is preventing them from being victims of “ethnic cleansing” at the hands of Israel, in an interview this Wednesday.
