Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations is ripping the “horrible views” that U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres expressed at a meeting of the Security Council on Tuesday and is calling for his resignation, The Fox News reported. Ambassador Gilad Erdan described Guterres’ remarks as “shocking” for stating that the October 7 terror attacks on Israel by Hamas “did not happen in a vacuum” and that the “Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.” a report said.
Erdan demanded that Guterres resign, the first time an Israeli ambassador has called for a sitting U.N. secretary-general to step down, an Israeli official confirmed to Fox News Digital.
The Fox News report further said that “the shocking speech by the @UN Secretary-General at the Security Council meeting, while rockets are being fired at all of Israel, proved conclusively, beyond any doubt, that the Secretary-General is completely disconnected from the reality in our region and that he views the massacre committed by Nazi Hamas terrorists in a distorted and immoral manner,” Erdan posted on social media platform X.
“His statement that, ‘the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,’ expressed an understanding for terrorism and murder. It’s really unfathomabale (sic). It’s truly sad that the head of an organization that arose after the Holocaust holds such horrible views. A tragedy!” Erdan said as per a report.
