Israeli Foreign Minister: "The presence of Guterres as Secretary-General of the United Nations poses a threat to world peace."

This comes after #UN #SecretaryGeneral Antonio #Guterres invoked Article 99 for the first time since taking office.

This article states that "the Secretary-General may bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which, in his judgment may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security."

The UN highlights the "magnitude of the loss of human life in Gaza and Israel, in such a short time" as a key factor in invoking this article in decades.

Sends a chilling message to journalists the world over

"We call on the #UK to refrain from extraditing #JulianAssange, for the #US to #drop-the-charges, and for #Assange to be #freed.
The #EspionageAct has not been used to fight espionage. It’s being used against #whistleblowers and Julian Assange to keep the public ignorant of the government’s wrongdoings and illegalities in order to maintain its hold on authority, all in the name of #national-security.
If Julian Assange ends up in a maximum security prison in the US... every other #journalist around the world will think, ‘Should I really report this information I’ve been given? Should I really speak out about this denial of #humanrights or #miscarriage-of-justice in any country?"
