Israel’s UN envoy, Gilad Erdan on Monday slammed UN Secretary-General António Guterres calling on him to resign for his own failings in response to the Hamas October 7 massacre.
Guterres defended UNRWA, the agency for Palestinian refugees, as the “backbone” of aid efforts in Gaza at a time when top Israeli authorities have called for its dismantling, in his speech to the Human Rights Council.
Erdan said Guterres, who expressed understanding for the massacre and solely focused efforts on Gaza’s humanitarian situation, bears significant responsibility for UN agencies operating under him aiding terror, such as UNRWA becoming essentially a terror-supporting organization.
Calling for Gutteres to resign seems like a waste of time unless more UN member nations join Erdan’s call for the UN Secretary General step down. It’s unfortunate that there is not a recall process in place at the UN. Then all rational minded member nations can have Gutteres fired for not doing his job. The UN must DEFUND AND DISMANTLE UNWRA NOW or there is no denying that it is a knowing accessory to terror!
