Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Israel Wednesday banned U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres from entering the country, citing his comments immediately following Iran's attack on Tel Aviv..

"I decided today to declare U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres an undesirable personality in Israel and to ban his entry into Israel," Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on X. "Anyone who is unable to unequivocally condemn Iran's criminal attack on Israel, as almost all the countries of the world have done, does not deserve to set foot on Israel's soil."
