# United Nations Secretary General António Guterres has been banned from entering Israel over his response to Iran’s ballistic missile bombardment. Israel’s Foreign minister, Israel Katz, called Guterres an anti-Israel secretary-general who lends support to terrorists. He says anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran’s attack on Israel does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil. Yesterday’s attack is the latest in a series of escalations, starting almost a year ago with attacks on Israel by Hamas, and recently involves increased fighting between Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israel.
