Israel bars UN secretary-general from entering country

Israel’s foreign minister said on Wednesday that he was barring UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres from entering the country for his failure to “unequivocally condemn” Iran’s massive missile attack on Israel.

Guterres on Tuesday issued a brief statement referencing only the “latest attacks in the Middle East” and condemning the conflict “with escalation after escalation”.

Earlier on Tuesday, Israel had sent troops into south Lebanon.
