Israeli Finance Minister criticizes Guterres over Gaza remarks
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich accused United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres of "supporting terrorism" after his condemnation of the killing of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Guterres affirmed that the October 7, 2023 attacks resulted in an unprecedented level of death and destruction. Smotrich responded by describing Guterres's words as incitement and moral support for terrorism, claiming that the latter permits the bloodshed of half a million Jews in the West Bank. Additionally, Israel's representative to the UN, Danon, criticized Guterres, accusing him of turning the UN platform into a tool against Israel, with hints of ethnic cleansing. These statements come amid ongoing Israeli fighting in Gaza, which has resulted since 2020 in the deaths of 73,919 people, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
