Israel has declared UN Secretary-General António Guterres persona non grata and banned him from entering the country, citing his failure to condemn Iran’s missile attacks on Israel. Foreign Minister Israel Katz stated that Guterres had not unequivocally condemned the attacks, which included Iran’s missile barrage and earlier Hamas violence. Guterres has expressed concern over the ongoing Middle East conflict but avoided directly naming either Iran or Israel in his statements. He has also called for immediate ceasefires in both Israel and Lebanon, urging respect for Lebanese sovereignty.
