After considerable pressure from Israel, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres yesterday watched the 47-minute IDF compilation of footage from Hamas’s October 7 onslaught. It was screened privately for him at the UN headquarters, Channel 12 reports.
Guterres had not attended previous screenings organized by Israeli officials at the UN, citing scheduling difficulties.
The footage, first screened for foreign journalists in Israel on October 23, includes harrowing scenes of murder, torture and decapitation from the Hamas slaughter in southern Israel, including raw videos from the terrorists’ bodycams.
