This was announced by Israel's Foreign Minister Israel Katz on the X social network. "UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres did not welcome the elimination of the extremist terrorist Yahya Sinwar, just as he refused to declare Hamas a terrorist organization after the October 7 massacre. Guterres is leading an extremist anti-Israel and anti-Jewish agenda. We will continue to consider him "persona non grata" and ban his entry to Israel," Katz wrote.
