Guterres criticizes Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip
The Secretary General of the UN, António Guterres, caused outrage at the Israeli ambassador in New York. His statement that the attack by the terrorist organization Hamas “did not take place in a vacuum” was a justification for terror and murder, said Gilad Erdan. Guterres’ statement in the video.
“It is important to recognize that Hamas’ attacks did not take place in a vacuum,” UN Secretary-General Guterres said at a meeting of the UN Security Council in New York. Israel’s UN Ambassador Erdan strongly condemned the statements: they were a justification for terror and murder.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has clearly criticized Israel for its attacks on the Gaza Strip. “Protecting civilians does not mean ordering more than a million people to evacuate to the south, where there is no shelter, no food, no water, no medicine and no fuel, and then continuing to bomb the south itself,” said Guterres at a meeting of the UN Security Council on Tuesday in New York. Apparently directed at Hamas fighters, the UN chief also condemned the use of bystanders as human shields.
“I am deeply concerned about the clear violations of international humanitarian law that we are witnessing in Gaza,” Guterres said. No party to the conflict is above international humanitarian law. Guterres once again strongly condemned the attacks on Israel by the Islamist terrorist group Hamas, saying that there was no justification for them. But he also said: “It is important to recognize that Hamas’ attacks did not take place in a vacuum.”
The Palestinian people have been subjected to oppressive occupation for 56 years. It has seen its country decimated by settlements and ravaged by violence, said Guterres. The Hamas attacks cannot justify the “collective punishment of the Palestinian people,” said Guterres.
Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan strongly condemned Guterres’ comments. Erdan Guterres accused the statement that “the murderous terrorist attack by Nazi Hamas did not take place in a vacuum” as a justification for terror and murder. “It is sad that such a person is at the head of the organization that was set up after the Holocaust, a person with such views. Terrible.”
The “shocking speech” by the UN Secretary General during rocket attacks on Israel conclusively proves that he is “completely disconnected from the reality in our region”. Guterres has a “distorted and immoral view” of the October 7 massacre carried out by Hamas terrorists in Israel, Erdan wrote on X.

In another post, he wrote: Guterres shows “understanding of a campaign of mass murder of children, women and the elderly” and is not suitable to lead the UN. “I call on him to resign immediately.” And Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen canceled a meeting with Guterres planned in New York. A spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem confirmed the cancellation on Tuesday. Cohen wrote in an X-Post: “I will not be meeting the UN Secretary General. After October 7th there will be no room for a balanced position.”
On the morning of October 7th, Hamas terrorists unexpectedly attacked Israel. 1,400 people were murdered – the majority civilians. The attackers also abducted at least 222 people.
