After #Gueterres words, the Israeli Foreign Minister demanded the resignation of the #UN Secretary General and unilaterally canceled his meeting with him.

“He does not represent the most important members of the UN, certainly not the #US, #Germany, #France or #Britain, which have supported Israel,” he said.

He also said that “obviously, we are going to have to reconsider our entire relationship with the United Nations.”

“We have been complaining for some time about how the UN and its representatives act in Israel, distorting reality.

They do not report what is really happening, they take things out of context, they refuse to verify our reports of terrorist attacks (…) and they take the words of #Hamas as if they were the word of God,” he added.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Statements by #Gueterres at the #UN Security Council:

“It is also important to recognize that the Hamas attacks did not occur in a vacuum. “The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.”

“But the grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify Hamas's heinous attacks. And these atrocious attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.”

“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.”
