António Guterres called for an immediate return to "unimpeded entry of assistance at scale," claiming the current aid distribution model put Gaza civilians at risk, but failing to mention Hamas.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry denounced United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Monday over his X post calling Israel’s current aid distribution model in Gaza “unacceptable” while failing to mention the Hamas terrorist group.
On Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces rejected accusations that its troops had fired at civilians in Khan Yunis, and released drone footage showing masked gunmen firing at civilians in Khan Yunis during what the military said was the time of the incident.
In his June 2 post, Guterres said he was “appalled” by reports of Gazans killed on Sunday, and called for “an immediate and independent investigation.” Israel, he wrote, “has clear obligations under international humanitarian law to agree to and facilitate humanitarian aid.”
