Foreign Minister Israel Katz hits back at UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who decried the humanitarian crisis in Gaza while visiting Egypt’s side of the border with the Palestinian enclave today, and says the United Nations has become an “antisemitic and anti-Israeli body” that backs terror.
In a furious response on X, Katz writes in English that Guterres “stood today on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing and blamed Israel for the humanitarian situation in Gaza, without condemning in any way the Hamas-ISIS terrorists who plunder humanitarian aid, without condemning UNRWA that cooperates with terrorists — and without calling for the immediate, unconditional release of all Israeli hostages.”
Under Guterres’s leadership, writes Katz, the UN “has become an antisemitic and anti-Israeli body that shelters and emboldens terror.
