‘In what world do you live?’ Israeli FM asks UN chief after criticism

Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen speaks during a United Nations Security Council meeting on the conflict in Middle East at the UN headquarters in New York City on October 24, 2023. AFPPIX: Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen on Tuesday denounced UN chief Antonio Guterres over his criticism of Israel’s Gaza campaign, as Cohen recounted graphic details of Hamas attacks on civilians.

Guterres also said that the Hamas attacks did not occur “in a vacuum,” pointing to “56 years of suffocating occupation” endured by the Palestinians. Rejecting tying the violence to the occupation, Cohen said Israel gave Gaza to the Palestinians “to the last millimetre” with its withdrawal in 2005. Israel’s outspoken ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, called on Guterres to resign — writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the UN chief has “expressed an understanding for terrorism and murder.”
