In a dramatic escalation of tensions, Israel has declared United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres 'persona non grata', effectively barring him from entering the country. This decision follows Guterres' condemnation of an Iranian missile attack, which resulted in the death of multiple IDF soldiers. Israeli officials have accused Guterres of exhibiting an anti-Israel bias and have expressed dissatisfaction with his response to the Iran attack, stating he has failed to adequately condemn it. The situation continues to deteriorate, with clashes reported between Israeli and Hezbollah forces along the Lebanon border.
