Israel has declared United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres persona non grenades.

He is banned from entering Israel, the Israeli Foreign Ministry's press service reported.

Why Israel Declared Guterres Persona Non Grata

The measure is related to the lack of reaction of the UN Secretary General to Iran’s attack on Israel.

According to local publication Ynet , Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz accused Guterres of hating Israel and "supporting terrorists, rapists and murderers."

The head of the Israeli diplomatic mission also called Guterres “a stain on the history of the UN.”

According to Katz, anyone who is unable to unequivocally condemn Iran's attack on Israel does not deserve to set foot on Israeli soil.

Last night, Iran launched a massive missile strike on Israel in retaliation for the killings of key figures in the IRGC, Hezbollah and Hamas leadership.

Tehran claims that 90% of the missiles successfully hit their targets. Israel said that most of the missiles were intercepted.
