Katz lambastes UN chief for ‘extreme anti-Israel, anti-Jewish agenda’ over silence on Sinwar’s death
Foreign Minister Israel Katz lambastes UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for remaining silent following the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, and accuses him of promoting an “extreme anti-Israel and anti-Jewish agenda.”
Guterres “did not welcome the elimination of arch-terrorist Yahya Sinwar, just as he refused to declare Hamas a terrorist organization after the October 7th massacre,” Katz writes on X.
He adds that the foreign ministry will “continue to designate him as a persona non grata and bar his entry into Israel.”
