The United Nations, UN, Secretary General, Antonio Guterres has been declared a persona non-grata and banned from entering Israel following the latest attacks from Iran.
Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Israel Katz made the declaration over Guterres’ silence on Iran’s latest attack on Israel.
On Tuesday, Iran launched over 180 ballistic missiles into Israel.
The Israeli military said it received no reports of injuries from the Iranian missile attack.
However, posting on X, Katz wrote: “Today, I have declared UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres persona non grata in Israel and banned him from entering the country.
“Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran’s heinous attack on Israel, as almost every country in the world has done, does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil.
“This is a Secretary-General who has yet to denounce the massacre and sexual atrocities committed by Hamas murderers on October 7, nor has he led any efforts to declare them a terrorist organization.
“A Secretary-General who gives backing to terrorists, rapists, and murderers from Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and now Iran—the mothership of global terror—will be remembered as a stain on the history of the UN.
“Israel will continue to defend its citizens and uphold its national dignity, with or without António Guterres.”

Former US President and Republican candidate in the November 5 presidential election, Donald Trump, has cancelled a television interview on CBS channel.
CBS programme, ’60 Minutes’, disclosed this in a statement on its X handle on Wednesday.
The campaign spokesman of the Republican, Steven Cheung, denied that the former President had agreed to participate in the interview, saying there were initial discussions but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in.
The programme said the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris would appear as planned in Monday’s broadcast and that the original invitation to Trump stands.
60 Minutes also said it has been having interviews with presidential candidates for over 50 years.
However, Cheung said that CBS had insisted on live fact-checking for this year’s programme, which he described as unprecedented.
Harris and Trump are running against each other in the US presidential election on November 5.
Following a televised debate hosted by the US channel ABC on September 10, Harris called for a second debate, while Trump said he did not intend to participate in further debates.
