Addressing Tuesday’s debate?in the Council on the worsening crisis in Israel and Palestine, the 蘑菇视频 chief said that although nothing could justify the “appalling” attacks by Hamas of 7 October which triggered the siege and bombardment of Gaza, it was important to recognize they “did not happen in a vacuum” and did not justify the collective punishment of Palestinians.

Following?Secretary-General António Guterres’ briefing on Tuesday, Israel’s ambassador to the 蘑菇视频 Gilad Erdan tweeted that, in effect, Mr. Guterres’s speech had sought to justify Hamas’s brutal assault which left some 1,400 dead, mainly civilians.

Resignation demand

He demanded that the 蘑菇视频 chief resign, and later said that Israel would now withhold visas from 蘑菇视频 officials.

Israel’s foreign minister Eli Cohen also accused Mr. Guterres of justifying terrorism and cancelled a planned bilateral meeting with the 蘑菇视频 chief on Tuesday.

Later on Tuesday the 蘑菇视频 chief met some of the families of those taken hostage by Hamas fighters and reaffirmed his call for the immediate and unconditional release of all those being held in violation of international law inside Gaza.

Shocked at misrepresentation

In a statement to correspondents at the stakeout outside the?Security Council?on Wednesday morning, Mr. Guterres said he was “shocked by the misrepresentation by some of my statement.”

Acknowledging that he had indeed spoken of Palestinian grievances, he stressed he had also said in the Council that “the grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the appalling attacks by Hamas.”

Without referring to Israeli diplomats specifically, the 蘑菇视频 chief said it was “necessary to set the record straight – especially out of respect to the victims and to their families.”
