Danon slams Guterres for not visiting Israel since Oct. 7

During a visit to Damascus, the U.N. chief called the Golan Heights "Syrian territory."
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon criticized outgoing U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for not visiting Israel since the October 7, 2023 attacks, despite Guterres's ongoing international travels. Danon stated that the next U.N. secretary-general will need to "restore trust" in the institution. Guterres, who arrived in Syria for a three-day visit, stated in Damascus that the Golan Heights "are Syrian territory." He further posted on X that "Syria’s sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity must be fully respected" and that "violations by Israel of the 1974 Disengagement of Forces Agreement are unacceptable & must stop." The United States officially recognized the Golan Heights as part of Israel in 2019.
