Israel will not reverse decision to declare UN Chief persona non grata – Foreign Ministry

Israel has no intention of reconsidering its earlier decision to declare UN Secretary-General António Guterres persona non grata, a status that bars him from entering Israel on diplomatic grounds, Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz said.

“I have declared UN Secretary-General António Guterres persona non grata and banned him from entering the country due to his failure to condemn the Iranian missile attack on Israel and his anti-Semitic and anti-Israel behavior. A poll found that 87% of the Israeli population supported the decision. Guterres can continue to try to gather support from UN members, but the decision will not be changed,” Katz wrote on his account on the social media platform X.


Earlier in October, Katz declared the UN Secretary-General persona non grata and banned him from entering the country for failing to condemn Iran’s retaliatory missile attack on October 1.

The Israeli foreign minister also accused the UN Secretary General of supporting the Palestinian group Hamas's armed resistance, saying Guterres “will be remembered as a stain on the history of the UN.”

"A decision has not yet been made," the official said.

Earlier in the day, Israeli media reported that the US would deploy its THAAD anti-ballistic missile defense system to Israel to protect it from Iranian attacks should Israel conduct retaliatory strikes on Iranian territory. The THAAD system would reportedly be operated by US soldiers.

US "determined to have regime change" in Iran as Israel delays strikes - analyst

This month, Vice President Kamala Harris said during an interview that Iran is one of America’s “greatest adversaries.” She then said that the US needs to ensure that “Iran never achieves the ability to be a nuclear power, that is one of my highest priorities.”

“[Harris] said that Iran was America's chief enemy. That’s… very, very important. And, as I've been saying all along, the US regards the Persian Gulf as the key to world control. It is increasingly angry at Iran for disrupting American control to any degree whatsoever. And it is determined to have regime change. And the longer the situation goes on, the more determined the US becomes,” said Daniel Lazare, an independent investigative journalist and author who joined Sputnik’s The Critical Hour on Friday.


While Harris made the claim that Iran is pursuing nuclear power, CIA Director Williams Burns told a security conference that their organization did “not see evidence today that the supreme leader has reversed the decision that he took at the end of 2003 to suspend the weaponization program.”

Hungary's Szijjarto unaware of alleged assassination attempt on Orban

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in an interview with RIA Novosti that he was not aware of the assassination attempt on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

Earlier, Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin revealed that Belgrade had received information that an assassination attempt was being prepared on Orban because of his position on Ukraine.

"Well, I don't know about such an attempt. But what I know about is that there are countinious attacks on us — and on the prime minister as well — in the legal, in financial and in political terms. On the prime minister, on the government, on the country," Szijjarto clarified.


According to Szijjarto, Brussels is withholding tens of billions of euros owed to Hungary because of Budapest's position on Ukraine, migration issues and gender propaganda.

"So legal, financial and political attacks are continuous on us for sure. About assassination attempt I have no information," he added.


Earlier, Orban said that Brussels was "not the boss of Hungary" and that the country would continue to defend its own point of view when discussing pan-European decisions. According to Orban, Hungary is not one of those countries that agrees to all of Brussels' demands, so Budapest will not supply weapons and allocate money to Ukraine, let migrants into the country or allow propaganda of sexual minorities in Hungarian schools.

Iran's UN mission denies awareness of Hamas attack on Israel

The Iranian mission to the UN has commented on a New York Times report that claimed Tehran had been aware of Palestinian movement Hamas' plans to attack Israel on October 7, 2023, saying Iran was unaware of the attack and that the media was relying on fabricated documents.

Earlier, The New York Times reported, citing documents, that Hamas had been planning a major attack on Israel in the fall of 2022, but had postponed the attack in order to allegedly secure support from Iran and Lebanese Shia movement Hezbollah.

"While Doha-stationed Hamas officials have themselves stated that they, too, had no prior knowledge of the operation and that all the planning, decision-making, and directing were solely executed by Hamas's military wing based in Gaza, any claim attempting to link it to Iran or Hezbollah—either partially or wholly—is devoid of credence and comes from fabricated documents," the mission said in a statement to Newsweek.

🥴 ‘Deficiencies, gaps and inconsistencies’: Navy SEALs floundering raid on Houthi vessel revealed

The details of a botched raid by the US Navy SEALs on a Houthi vessel earlier this year that resulted in the death of two commandos have finally been revealed as a scathing report documents multiple failures that contributed to the mishap.

“This incident, marked by systemic issues, was preventable," said Vice Adm. George M. Wikoff of the “complex boarding” operation that attempted to halt a shipment of arms to Houthi fighters in Yemen.


The incident occurred off the coast of Somalia earlier this year as the United States struggles to respond to the armed group’s blockade of the Red Sea in response to Israel’s ongoing military operation in Gaza.

The SEALs were attempting to uphold the United States’ own blockade against equipment being shipped to the armed resistance group when they tried to board the vessel during a nighttime operation in January. The two SEALs – one of them carrying equipment weighing 48 pounds and the other carrying gear weighing 80 pounds – drowned under the weight of their equipment as their floatation devices seemingly failed to deploy.

“There is no doubt the act of boarding a… vessel is dangerous and can elevate in risk depending on the factors of the mission,” the report read. “Deficiencies, gaps and inconsistencies in doctrine, tactics, techniques and procedures created missed opportunities for safeguards that could have decreased the likelihood for this incident.”


The US has been ultimately unsuccessful in halting the Houthis’ blockade, which has resulted in significant economic damage to Israel.

Jabalia's death toll climbs as thousands are trapped without aid

This week, more than 150 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes in an operation which is focusing on the Jabalia refugee camp, the Financial Times reported. These deaths include women and children. Many are injured as well as missing, while 300,000 more are trapped in the Palestinian city.

🗣 “It’s more than scary — the situation is critical,” an eyewitness, who managed to escape from Jabalia before the offensive began, told the Financial Times. “It seems that the Jabalia camp will be deleted from Gaza’s geography.”


Now, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who are trapped in northern Gaza face the risk of death either from Israeli attacks or famine.

🗣 Hamas lambasted Israel on Saturday and said its “massacres are a continuation of the ongoing criminal genocide against our people, shielded by American support.”

One-fifth of Gen Z Americans defend Hitler amid scourge of Western pro-Nazi sentiment - poll

A poll has revealed that more than one in five young adults in the United States defend German leader Adolf Hitler in a stunning demonstration of the spread of pro-Nazi sympathies in the Western world.

The survey conducted by the polling firm J.L. Partners and sponsored by the British tabloid The Daily Mail asked likely American voters whether they believed the notorious Nazi dictator had some “good ideas” or was “evil and had no redeeming features.” A full 21% of respondents between the ages of 18 and 29 agreed Hitler had good ideas, while another 20% claimed they were unsure.

“Earlier this month, TikTok was forced to remove AI-generated and translated videos of Hitler's speeches that had racked up more than one million views,” the Daily Mail reported.


The Daily Mail noted that Hitler was responsible for the deaths of millions of children during his genocidal march across Europe. An estimated 2.8 million Soviet children died during World War II as well as 1.5 million Jewish children and thousands of Romani children and German minors with physical and mental disabilities.

The Soviet Union bore the brunt of Nazi brutality, with an estimated 27 million Soviet citizens dying during the conflict. The fascist leader killed some 6 million Jews in a systematic program of mass extermination known as the Holocaust along with hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Poles, national and religious minorities.
