United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres infers that he has been the victim of purposeful “misinformation,” in a press conference on media integrity in New York.
Speaking to journalists yesterday, Guterres says, “I’ll give you one example of misinformation about myself. I’ve heard the same source many times saying that I never attacked Hamas, that I never condemned Hamas, that I am a supporter of Hamas.
“I asked for a statistic to be made… I have condemned Hamas 102 times — 51 of them in formal speeches, the others in different social platforms. So, I mean, the truth, in the end, always wins.”
The UN chief was apparently referring to his condemnations of the Palestinian terror group since its brutal October 7 massacre in southern Israel which sparked the war.
