Top Israeli diplomat Eli Cohen has accused the UN chief of lacking impartiality after invoking Article 99 for a humanitarian ceasefire.
“Guterres’ appeal to stand on the side of Hamas and request a ceasefire disgraces his position and constitutes a mark of Cain on the UN,” Cohen said, referring to a passage in the Bible that some interpret as a way to describe a badge of shame, according to Al Jazeera.
“The invocation of Article 99, after it was not used for the war in Ukraine or for the civil war in Syria, is another example of Guterres’ biased and one-sided stance,” Cohen said, adding that a ceasefire now would “prevent the collapse” of Hamas.
