Israel announced Thursday that it is suspending all contact with the office of United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres after the UN placed Israeli entities on a blacklist connected to sexual violence in conflict zones.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said the Israeli Mission to the United Nations will no longer maintain relations with the Secretary-General’s office for as long as Guterres remains in charge of the organization.
The move follows Guterres’ decision to add Israeli entities to the controversial blacklist, a step Israeli officials sharply condemned as politically motivated and morally indefensible.
According to Israeli officials, the Israeli delegation and Ambassador Danon spent months engaging with UN representatives, supplying documentation, statistics, and detailed responses addressing every allegation raised against Israel over the past year.
Despite those efforts, Israeli officials said the Secretary-General chose to move ahead with the designation, placing Israel in the same category as Hamas and other terror groups.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, said: “We are done with this UN Secretary-General. Guterres has put Israel on the same blacklist along with Hamas, ISIS and the most depraved terrorist organizations in the world. This is a moral disgrace that proves that Guterres has lost all credibility.”

Good morning. Now wash negel vasser. It was obvious for many years that this secretary general was pro-terror and anti-Israel. In fact, the UN General Assembly has been bent on destroying Israel for decades. Nikki Haley was about the first American ambassador to call it. Just look who heads some of the agencies of the UN. It’s comical and dangerous.
Why doesn’t Israel cut off relations with the UN altogether?
