UN Secretary-General António Guterres delivered a speech at the UN General Assembly, harshly criticizing Israel, calling the killing in Gaza "the most extensive I have seen" and warning of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. Guterres also addressed the escalation in Ukraine, but Ukrainian users were outraged that he devoted only a few sentences to it.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres delivered a speech today (Tuesday) at the UN General Assembly, in which he harshly attacked Israel. Guterres said that the killing in Gaza is "the most extensive I have seen" in all his years in office, and warned that settler violence and the expansion of settlements in the West Bank raise concerns of ethnic cleansing. He called for the two-state solution not to be allowed to disappear. Ukrainian users were outraged that Guterres devoted only 2-3 sentences to the war in Ukraine, while expanding at length on Gaza. The article on Channel 14 frames the speech as part of an "anti-Israeli narrative" that Guterres has cultivated over the past three years, while emphasizing that he ignores the escalation in Ukraine.
