Israel’s foreign minister slams UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, questioning his leadership abilities.
During a press conference inside the UN building in Geneva on Tuesday, Eli Cohen criticized Guterres for not condemning Hamas and accused him of being too close to Iran.
“I think that Guterres, like all the free nations, should say clearly and loudly ‘Free Gaza from Hamas.’ Everyone said that Hamas is worse than ISIS. Why he cannot say it?” questioned Cohen.
Guterres has been critical of Israel’s actions in response to the Hamas terror attack on October 7th, which resulted in numerous casualties and hostages.
In a separate press conference, a UN spokesperson expressed concern over the situation in Gaza and called for an immediate cease-fire.
“The Secretary-General is deeply disturbed by the horrible situation and the dramatic loss of life in several hospitals in Gaza,” spokesperson at the United Nations Stephane Dujarric said. “In the name of humanity, the Secretary-General calls for an immediate cease fire.”
The UN spokesperson did not address the criticisms from Israel’s foreign minister but praised Guterres for his resilience.

What specific actions has UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres taken to address the concerns raised by Israel regarding his alleged bias and failure to condemn Hamas?
Israel’s Foreign Minister, Eli Cohen, recently expressed criticism towards UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, raising concerns about his leadership abilities. During a press conference held at the UN building in Geneva, Cohen openly criticized Guterres for failing to condemn Hamas and accused him of having too close of a relationship with Iran.
Cohen questioned why Guterres, like other free nations, has not clearly and vocally advocated for freeing Gaza from the control of Hamas. He pointed out that many have recognized Hamas as a worse threat than ISIS, and yet Guterres has remained silent on the issue. This silence, according to Cohen, raises doubts about the effectiveness of Guterres’ leadership.
The tensions between Israel and Hamas escalated after a terror attack carried out by Hamas on October 7th resulted in numerous casualties and hostages. Guterres has been critical of Israel’s response to the attack, further exacerbating the strained relationship.
In a separate press conference, a spokesperson for the United Nations expressed concern about the situation in Gaza and called for an immediate cease-fire. The spokesperson emphasized the Secretary-General’s distress over the dire situation and the loss of life in Gaza’s hospitals. In the name of humanity, the Secretary-General urged an end to the violence.
However, the UN spokesperson did not specifically address Israel’s criticisms and concerns regarding Guterres’ leadership and alleged bias in the conflict.
Israel’s foreign minister’s criticism of Guterres stems from the perception that he is not impartial and has failed to condemn Hamas unequivocally. Israeli officials argue that Guterres, as the leader of an international organization, should act in a way that promotes peace and addresses the actions of all parties involved in the conflict.
The ongoing tensions in the region highlight the complexities of addressing and resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is imperative for leaders like Guterres to maintain impartiality and strive for a fair and just resolution. Without addressing these concerns, the region remains at risk of further escalation and continued suffering for both Israelis and Palestinians.
In conclusion, Israel’s foreign minister, Eli Cohen, has criticized UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for failing to condemn Hamas and alleged closeness to Iran. The tensions between Israel and Hamas have further strained the relationship between Israel and the UN, highlighting the need for impartial leadership to foster a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It remains to be seen how this criticism will impact the ongoing conflict and the efforts towards achieving peace in the region.
