Israel’s Foreign Minister, Eli Cohen, has once again attacked the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterresensuring that his mandate represents “a danger to world peace”after this invoke article 99 of the UN Founding Charter to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Guterres’ mandate is a danger to world peace. “His request to activate Article 99 and the call for a ceasefire in Gaza constitutes support for the terrorist organization Hamas and support for the murder of the elderly, the kidnapping of babies and the rape of women,” Cohen stated in X. “Anyone who supports world peace must support the liberation of Gaza from Hamas,” he added.

The Israeli ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdán, has also accused Guterres of having reached “a new level of moral turpitude”. “The Secretary-General’s request for a ceasefire is actually a call to maintain Hamas’ reign of terror in Gaza,” Erdan said on the same social network.
