The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has decided to include Israel in the black list of countries and organizations that harm children in conflict zones. Despite Israel’s efforts to persuade Guterres to avoid this step, they will appear on the blacklist published in a report next week.

Israeli officials expressed concern that this move could lead to an arms embargo against them. The decision was made despite Israeli attempts to reverse it, as confirmed by a report from Channel 13.

Last month, there were fears in Israel about this decision following critical statements made by Guterres. Various sources familiar with the matter believe that the Secretary-General’s negative stance towards Israel is influencing his decisions.
