Israel lashes out at UN chief for condemning strikes on Gaza

Israel’s foreign ministry has unleashed a furious attack on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, accusing him of “moral bankruptcy” after he condemned Israel’s latest bombardment of Gaza which killed more than 400 civilians.

Foreign ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein posted on X: “We are outraged that you [Antonio Guterres] are the Secretary-General of the UN.”

Marmorstein slammed Guterres for failing to mention US efforts to extend the ceasefire’s first phase.

“Indeed, we are outraged by your moral bankruptcy,” Marmorstein added
