Foreign Minister Israel Katz on Wednesday declared UN Secretary-General António Guterres a "persona non grata" in Israel, banning his entry into the country.
Katz condemned Guterres in an X post for his failure to unequivocally denounce Iran's attack on Israel.
"Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran's heinous attack on Israel, as almost every country in the world has done, does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil," he wrote.
Katz further accused Guterres of supporting terrorists and labeled his tenure a "stain on the history of the UN."
