Israel Retaliates Against U.N. After Guterres Comments on Gaza Assault
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel is lashing out at the U.N. after Secretary-General António
Guterres said it was guilty of "clear violations of international
humanitarian law" and that the October 7 Hamas attack in Israel "did not
happen in a vacuum." The Israeli envoy to the U.N. demanded Guterres
resign over the comments, as Israel has reportedly refused a visa to
U.N. humanitarian affairs chief Martin Griffiths to "teach them a
lesson."
