United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has rejected accusations by Israel that he had justified attacks by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel in a statement to the Security Council.Antonio Guterres earlier said the "appalling attacks" by Hamas could not justify "collective punishment" of Palestinians
Mr Guterres said he made clear in his speech that nothing could condone terror attacks against civilians "It is important to also recognise the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation," he said.How big is the Gaza StripMohammed says he's been offered $100m for his home. This is why he'll never leave, while Israel's visiting Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said he would not meet with Mr Guterres on Tuesday as planned.
