Israel has declared UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres 'persona non grata' and banned him from entering the country, citing his failure to unequivocally condemn a recent Iranian missile attack on Israel. Foreign Minister Israel Katz accused Guterres of supporting terrorists and criticized his perceived bias against Israel. The decision highlights ongoing tensions between Israel and the UN, which have been exacerbated by recent conflicts involving Hamas and Hezbollah. Guterres had condemned the escalation of violence in the Middle East but did not specifically mention Iran, leading to Israeli accusations of inadequate support. This move marks a significant escalation in the strained relations between Israel and the UN.
