WASHINGTON (AA) - UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres added Israeli army to a global list of offenders who have committed violations against children, Israel's UN envoy Gilad Erdan said on Friday.
"I received the official notification about the Secretary-General's decision to put the IDF on the "blacklist" of countries and organizations that harm children," Erdan said on X.
"This is simply outrageous and wrong because Hamas has been using children for terrorism and uses schools and hospitals as military compounds," he said.
Erdan added he responded to the "shameful decision" of Guterres, and said that Israeli army is "the most moral in the world."
"The only one being blacklisted is the Secretary-General who incentivizes and encourages terrorism and is motivated by hatred towards Israel. The Secretary-General should be ashamed of himself!" he said.
