Israel's envoy to the United Nations on Tuesday lambasted the speech by the body's Secretary-General Antonio Guterres regarding the Hamas massacre.

“It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,” Guterres said. “The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation. They have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence; their economy stifled; their people displaced and their homes demolished. Their hopes for a political solution to their plight have been vanishing.”

Gilad Erdan wrote on his X account that "the shocking speech," given "while rockets are being fired at all of Israel, proved conclusively, beyond any doubt, that the Secretary-General is completely disconnected from the reality in our region and that he views the massacre committed by Nazi Hamas terrorists in a distorted and immoral manner." 

The October 7 massacre, where over 1,400 Israelis were butchered by Palestinian terrorists in horrific circumstances, represents the worst atrocity committed against the Jews since the Holocaust.
