Israel's foreign minister announced Wednesday that U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has been declared "persona non grata" and barred from entering Israel.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz accused Guterres of bias, citing his failure to condemn Iran's recent attack on Israel.

"Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran's heinous attack on Israel does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil."

"This is an Israel-hating Secretary-General, who gives support to terrorists," he said.

Iran also only targeted military sites yesterday, which is completely in line with international law. As long as they don't target population centers there's no reason to condemn it.

I'm pretty sure this whole thing is made as a way to discredit organisations, UN or otherwise, who are even slightly against the mess going on over there.

Yep, it's the classic "if you're not with us, you're against us" stance meant to threaten everyone into being complicit in your atrocities.
