The Israeli government has designated U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres as a diplomatic evader and banned him from entering the country for not condemning Iran's missile attacks.
"Those who fail to decisively condemn Iran's evil attacks are not entitled to set foot on Israeli territory," Israeli Foreign Minister Katz said in a statement.
He also accused Guterres of being an anti-Israel secretary general who supports terrorists and murderers.
At the same time, Katz expressed his gratitude on social media by sharing messages of condemnation from Iran from top leaders such as U.S. Vice President Harris and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Guterres called for an immediate cease-fire, saying he "condemns the escalation and escalation of the Middle East conflict" in a statement issued shortly after Iran launched a missile strike.
