Israeli
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen blasted U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres on
Tuesday for remarks in which he appeared to justify Hamas’s Oct. 7 murder
rampage in the western Negev.
“It
is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a
vacuum,” Guterres had told the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday, claiming that
“the Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating
occupation.
“They
have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence;
their economy stifled; their people displaced; and their homes demolished.
Their hopes for a political solution to their plight have been vanishing,” added
the Portuguese diplomat.
Hamas terrorists
killed at least 1,400 Israelis and wounded more than 4,500 in a massive
offensive launched from Gaza on Oct. 7, which included the firing of thousands
of rockets at Israel and the infiltration of the Jewish state by terrorist
forces.
“Mr.
Secretary-General, in what world do you live?” Cohen rebutted as he addressed
the Security Council. “Definitely, this is not our world.”
Cohen
canceled a private meeting with Guterres, he subsequently announced on X
(formerly Twitter). “I will not meet the U.N. secretary-general. After Oct. 7,
there is no place for a balanced approach. Hamas must be erased
from the world,” wrote the top diplomat.
Israeli
Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan also
denounced the secretary-general’s speech, noting in a post on X that Guterres
spoke as Hamas bombarded central Israel with rockets.
“The
shocking speech by the U.N. secretary-general at the Security Council meeting …
proved conclusively, beyond any doubt, that the secretary-general is completely
disconnected from the reality in our region and that he views the massacre
committed by Nazi Hamas terrorists in a distorted and immoral manner,” said
Erdan.
“His
statement that ‘the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,’ expressed an
understanding for terrorism and murder. It’s really unfathomable. It’s truly
sad that the head of an organization that arose after the Holocaust holds such
horrible views,” the ambassador said.
Erdan
urged Guterres to resign “immediately,” while sharing a post that called on the
Jewish state to “rethink its relationship” with the international organization.
‘Legitimizing
and justifying the gruesome massacre’
Israel’s Channel
12 reported on Tuesday night that Erdan refused a visa request from
U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths, who had
planned to visit the region.
Erdan
will recommend additional retaliatory measures to be taken by Jerusalem, the
report claimed, including the deportation of U.N. officials in the country.
Israeli
Minister-without-Portfolio Benny Gantz said, “terror apologists cannot speak on
behalf of the world.”
“Days
when the U.N. secretary-general supports terrorism are dark days for the world.
Absolutely nothing can justify the slaughter of innocent civilians. Now is the
time to stand on the right side of history, or be judged by it,” Gantz wrote on
X.
“By
saying this, he [Guterres] is wrongfully legitimizing and justifying the
gruesome massacre of men, women, children and babies, and the savage kidnapping
of over 222 innocent babies, children and civilians who are still being held by
Hamas,” charged Danny Danon, a member of the Israeli Knesset and former Israeli
ambassador to the U.N.
“The
U.N. secretary-general should be ashamed of himself. I call upon him to retract
his abhorrent statement or step down now and resign from his position,” Danon
said, according to a statement from his office.
“You
have lost any last shred of dignity and moral clarity. You have brought
disgrace upon the institution you’re leading,” said Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana
in an X post.
Ohana
called on Guterres to “apologize to the Israeli victims and families who
experienced a modern Holocaust” on Oct. 7. “They are still being targeted by
the Hamas killing machine as you spew your vile antisemitic speech,” added the
lawmaker.
The
Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) expressed outrage on Tuesday over the
morally reprehensible comments made by Guterres in which he seemed to
blame Israel for the Oct. 7 Hamas pogrom in which more than 1,400 Israelis were
brutally murdered and around 200 others taken into captivity in Gaza.
‘It
is unbelievable and unconscionable how out of touch with reality the UN
secretary-general is,” said CAM CEO Sacha Roytman Dratwa. “Over the last couple
of weeks, our generation has had a chance to reflect and better understand how
the Holocaust was allowed to happen by the silence and complicity of global
decision-makers and opinion-shapers in the face of Nazi-style atrocities.”
“The
fact that the so-called leader of the most prominent international institution
has engaged in victim-blaming shows how he clearly has different rules for Jews
among all the other peoples of the world,” Roytman Dratwa added. “He sees the
blood of masses of Jews spilled and can only think of the political
ramifications.”
“Would
he have said that the Holocaust didn’t happen in a vacuum, which is a repugnant
but sadly increasing global sentiment?” Roytman Dratwa asked. “These comments
are just a thin whisper away and hold the Jewish people uniquely responsible
for their own massacres, rapes, beheadings, and kidnappings.”
CAM
joins the growing number of people and institutions calling for Gutteres’
immediate resignation as UN secretary-general.
