ALBAWABA - Israel announced declaring Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres "persona non grata", forbidding the UN chief from entering the country.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz in a statement that the decision to ban Guterres from entering the country comes after he "failed to condemn" the Iranian barrage of missiles toward Israel last night.

"Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran's heinous attack on Israel does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil. This is an anti-Israel Secretary-General who lends support to terrorists, rapists, and murderers" Katz stated.
