According to the head of Israeli diplomacy “Yesterday (Tuesday) they invited him to watch the video of the atrocities that was projected on the UN and refused to attend.”
Israel maintains an open conflict against Guterres for having stated that Israel violated international humanitarian law in its offensive against Linkto the point that he asked for his resignation from the position of secretary general of UN.
On October 24, at a meeting of the Security Council of UN, Guterres He again condemned the Hamas attack on Israeli territory on October 7, which killed more than 1,200 people, but added: “It doesn’t come from nothing, but from 56 years of occupation”, words that irritate Israel.
In that speech, Guterres He also said that nothing could justify the attacks of Hamasbut added that the aggression by the Islamic group’s armed wing could not justify “the collective punishment of the Palestinians”.
In a month and a half of war, more than 14,000 Palestinians diedof which more than 5,000 are children, according to data from the Gaza Ministry of Health.
For Cohenthe posture of Guterres does not represent that of the members United Nations.
“I am very happy to see that your positions do not represent the positions of the member states of the UNis that Israel also receives unprecedented support in UN”he said.
On October 28th, UN General Assembly approved by an overwhelming majority (120 votes in favor, 14 against and 45 abstentions) a resolution calling for “the cessation of hostilities” in Linkwhich Israel had opposed until yesterday.
Israel, which voted against the resolution, only found support from thirteen countries, including its main ally, U.Ssome Latin American countries, such as Paraguay It is Guatemala and other states in Pacific.
