Israel Katz, the Israeli foreign minister, accused the UN secretary general, António Guterres, of “leading an extreme anti-Israel and anti-Jewish agenda”.

“Guterres did not welcome the elimination of arch-terrorist Yahya Sinwar, just as he refused to declare Hamas a terrorist organisation after the October 7th massacre,” he said in a post on X. “We will continue to designate him as persona non grata and bar his entry to Israel.”

Guterres had issued a brief statement after the missile attack condemning “the broadening of the Middle East conflict, with escalation after escalation”, but Katz said this did not go far enough.
