United Nations:
The United Nations Security Council on Thursday expressed its full support for Secretary-General Antonio Guterres after Israel's foreign minister said he was banning him from entering the country.
The 15-member council said in a statement that “any decision not to engage with the UN Secretary General or the United Nations is counterproductive, especially in the context of escalating tensions in the Middle East.”
The statement made no mention of Israel. Such council statements are approved by consensus.
