Israel has made it clear countless of times that it doesn’t like the United Nations for speaking the truth on Palestine.

This time Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz declared, Wednesday, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres a not “wanted person in Israel”, and banned him from entering the country. Why? Katz is now claiming Guterres has not “clearly” condemned the Iranian missile attack on Israel, Tuesday night.

In an Israeli Foreign Ministry statement Katz said “anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn the Iranian criminal attack on Israel is not fit to set foot on Israeli soil.”

Katz goes further saying “this Secretary General who hates Israel, who provides support to terrorists, rapists and murderers, will remain in memory as a disgrace in the history of the United Nations,” according to Al Jazeera.

Katz’s decision was based on the fact as he claims the UN Secretary-General “did not mention the name of Iran and did not condemn it in any way, and did not categorically condemn its dangerous aggression.”

Katz also alleged that Guterres’s comment on the Iranian attack is part of his “continuation of his anti-Israel policy since the beginning of the war”, stressing the UN Secretary-General did not make any initiatives to “declare Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis terrorist organizations”.

Tuesday evening Iran fired about 180 ballistic missiles at Israel, causing human casualties and material damage and closing the airspace, while millions of Israelis rushed to underground shelters as sirens blasted all over Israel.
