- Antonio Guterres
JNS.org – United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres reassured Jewish community leaders on Sunday that he would oppose any anti-Israel bias at the world body.
“I consider that the state of Israel needs to be treated as any other state,” Guterres said at the World Jewish Congress offices in New York.
“I have already had the opportunity to show that I’m ready to abide by that principle, even when that forces me to take some decisions that create some uncomfortable situations,” he added, referring to an incident in March in which he forced the retraction of a controversial UN report that accused Israel of implementing “an apartheid regime.”
