Israel has also threatened to deny visa to UN officials.
Israel has called for the resignation of the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres following the latter’s speech at the Security Council on Wednesday., Gilad Erdan, said the UN is failing and Mr Guterres must resign because he has lost all morality and impartiality.
“It is important to also recognise the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation,” Mr Guterres told the Council. “This building was established to prevent atrocities, how can the Secretay-General with his words justify in any way the terrible atrocities that happened to innocent civilians,” he questioned.
Mr Erdan took to social media platform X to continue to call for his resignation. “The UN Secretary-General is disconnected from reality and must resign.” “Due to his remarks, we will refuse to issue visas to UN representatives,” Aljazeera quoted Mr Erdan as telling Army Radio.“We have already refused a visa for Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths. The time has come to teach them a lesson,” it added.Mr Guterres on Wednesday afternoon at a media stakeout said he was shocked at the misrepresentation of his speech.
