Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan says the country will deny visas to UN officials, APA reports citing the Times of Israel.
Gilad Erdan said that the reason for this is Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s remarks that appeared to justify Hamas’s brutal assault on Israel. “It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,” Guterres said at a UN Security Council meeting on the Israel-Hamas war, which erupted when the terror group ravaged Israeli border communities, killing some 1,400 people, the vast majority of them civilians.
“We have already refused a visa for Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths,” Erdan said. “The time has come to teach them a lesson.”
