Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, criticized UN Secretary-General Antonio Gutteres for his remarks on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza following the IDF’s operation against former Hamas Leader Yahya Sinwar. Gutteres described the situation in Gaza as “intolerable” without acknowledging Sinwar’s ties to Hamas and his recent elimination.
Erdan called Gutteres “the most irrelevant and detached public figure on earth” in response to his comments. Many others also lambasted Gutteres for the timing of his post, with one user sarcastically offering condolences for his “loss” of a pet rat.
Attacking peacekeepers is ‘unacceptable’
In another post, Gutteres condemned attacks on UN peacekeepers as unacceptable, sparking further controversy. Questions arose about the association between Sinwar and a UNRWA teacher, raising suspicions among commentators about potential links between UN personnel and terrorists.
This incident has reignited debates about the UN’s role in the conflict and the accountability of its peacekeeping missions. Stay informed with the latest developments by subscribing to The Jerusalem Post Newsletter.
