Ayelet Samerano, the mother of Yonatan Samerano, whose body was seized and taken to Gaza by an employee of UNRWA on October 7, demands to meet with the UN chief while she is in Geneva.

“You are next door, meet me today and tell me what are you going to do and how you can bring me back my son?” says Samerano in a video distributed by the Hostage Families Forum.

“Mr. Guterres — look at my eyes and answer me now, where is my son?” she adds at a forum held by the UN Watch organization. “You are next door, you’re here and you have the opportunity to meet me today and tell me what are you going to do… I’m not an investigator and cannot answer these questions. I’m just a mother who lost the most precious thing in the world.”

Guterres is currently meeting with the foreign minister of Iran in Geneva.
