Israel has reaffirmed its decision to declare UN Secretary-General António Guterres persona non grata, according to Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz. The decision, which bars Guterres from entering Israel, stems from his failure to condemn an Iranian missile attack on Israel and his perceived anti-Semitic and anti-Israel rhetoric. A poll indicates that 87 percent of the Israeli public supports this decision.
