Israel<\/a> is \u201cdone\u201d with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres<\/a>, its UN envoy said, after Israeli entities were named on a blacklist of countries and groups that have committed sexual violence in conflict zones.<\/p>\n

The Israeli military and security forces have been added to this year’s list, along with Hamas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are done with this UN Secretary General,\u201d Danny Danon said. He added that Israel had appeared on the list alongside \u201cthe most depraved terrorist organisations in the world\u201d. <\/p>\n

The Israeli mission to the UN said it would have \u201cno contact\u201d with the Secretary General’s office as long as Mr Guterres leads it<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past year, Israel’s ambassador to the UN and the Israeli delegation held a series of meetings with UN representatives and provided documents, data, as well as a detailed response to all the allegations that were raised,\u201d the mission said. \u201cDespite this, the UN Secretary General chose to advance a political decision and include Israel alongside Hamas and terrorist organisations.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a document circulated among UN member states but not officially released, the Secretary General blacklisted several Israeli institutions including the military, prison service and the police counter-terrorism unit. “In addition, violations were perpetrated at checkpoints and during Israeli military operations in the occupied Palestinian territories,” the document said.<\/p>\n

Those breaches were sometimes recorded in photos or video, it added, corroborating evidence given by whistleblowers and former detainees who spoke to Israeli and Palestinian rights groups and the media. <\/p>\n

Mr Guterres has criticised Israel’s policies in the past. Last year, he wrote to Mr Danon to warn that Israel was “on notice<\/a>” for a potential listing in the next UN report on sexual violence<\/a> in armed conflict. Mr Guterres urged Israel to take a series of measures against such acts and to investigate “every credible complaint”. <\/p>\n

The latest document notes that, despite this, Israel “has not granted access to competent United Nations entities for monitoring”. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Israel is \u201cdone\u201d with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, its UN envoy said, after Israeli entities were named…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":465919,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43,2865,789,48841],"class_list":["post-465918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news","tag-standard","tag-story","tag-us-bureau"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465918\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
