Iran not condemned
Israel refuses entry to UN Secretary-General
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has repeatedly criticized Israel's actions against the Palestinian terrorist organisation Hamas and the pro-Iranian terrorist organization Hezbollah and warned of war crimes. Now, from the point of view of the Israeli government, the Portuguese has probably overstepped the mark. Guterres has been banned from entering the country.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz justified this on Wednesday by stating that Guterres had not "unequivocally condemned" the major Iranian attack on Israel. "Anyone who is not able to clearly condemn Iran for its insidious attack on Israel (...) does not deserve to set foot on Israeli soil," wrote Katz on the short message platform X.
The bone of contention is a post on X in which the UN Secretary-General warned of a further escalation during Iran's latest series of attacks on Israel and called for an immediate ceasefire, but did not condemn the hail of missiles from Iran with a single word (see post below).
German government criticizes entry ban
The German government described Israel's actions as "not particularly helpful, because in the end we need more talks, not fewer talks", as a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry in Berlin explained. He added: "We should not deprive ourselves of channels for talks that could possibly help to bring about a solution."
Netanyahu: "Iran has made a big mistake"
According to the Israeli army, Iran fired around 200 missiles at Israel on Tuesday, most of which are said to have been intercepted. For Iranian religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, however, the attack is not yet over. According to the Revolutionary Guards, the Iranian attacks were a reaction to the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike on Friday. Iran also accuses Israel of killing Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the radical Islamic Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, in Tehran at the end of July.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately threatened retaliatory strikes and emphasized: "Iran has made a big mistake."
