Israel will refuse to grant visas to United Nations officials, according to its ambassador, after comments by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, which were seen as carrying water for Hamas.
“Due to his [Guterres’s] remarks, we will refuse to issue visas to U.N. representatives,” Gilad Erdan told Army Radio.
Erdan also accused agencies aligned with the U.N. of creating a “false picture” of what is going on in Gaza, threatening to expel “hostile U.N. officials” from Israel.
On Tuesday, Erdan accused Guterres of committing a “blood libel” against Israel and called on him to resign.
