[73672] Israel severs contact with UN Secretary-General António Guterres
Against the backdrop of Israel's inclusion on the UN blacklist, the country has announced a complete cutoff from the office of Secretary-General António Guterres until his replacement.
Diplomatic crisis: Israel severs ties with the UN Secretary-General's office
In a sharp diplomatic move, Israel announced a complete severance of ties with the office of UN Secretary-General António Guterres. The cutoff, which will last until a new Secretary-General is appointed, apparently comes against the backdrop of ongoing tensions between Jerusalem and the international organization.
According to a report on Abu Ali Express, a channel that presents a critical line toward elements hostile to Israel, the decision was made following the inclusion of Israel on the "blacklist of perpetrators of sexual crimes in conflict zones" by UN officials.
The report was verified and published also by the news channels Moment News - Military and Security on Telegram and Voice of News on 🆃🅴🅻🅴🅶🆁🅰️🅼🔴, which noted that "Israel announced that it would sever all ties with the UN Secretary-General António Guterres' office until a new Secretary-General is appointed". Both channels emphasize in their coverage a position expressing support for government policy and Netanyahu.
This step marks a further escalation in Israel-UN relations, as Jerusalem chooses a firm line against the organization, claiming bias within its top institutions.
