In a post on X, Katz said “Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran’s heinous attack on Israel, as almost every country in the world has done, does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil.”
Katz also said Israel will continue to defend its citizens with or without Guterres.
Israel has a history of disagreeing with the U.N., which has intensified since Israel launched its war in Gaza.
