Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres invoked Article 99 of the UN Charter on Wednesday, a first during the high-ranking official’s tenure.
Article 99 allows the Secretary-General to “bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security.”
“Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared,” Guterres said in a statement.
Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen responded in a tweet saying that the tenure of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is “a danger to world peace.”
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan ripped into Guterres, calling on him to resign, saying the Secretary-General has reached a new moral low.

Why didn’t they declare it for Ukraine?
I guess the UN has more hiding in Gaza that they’re afraid for the Israelis to expose. So far we know UN sites have hidden Hamas weapons, UN employees have even held hostages, UN employees have misled the world for 16 years clearly knowing how Hamas hides behind civilians and under hospitals. UN is not merely complacent they are actually accomplices to a US and EU designated terror group.
Funny he didn’t invoke it when Russia invaded Ukraine, I wonder why?
Israel gives him too much attention.
Israel needs to leave the UN at once, throw that out of Israel Lebanon and Gaza and proclaim that the UN will no longer be recognized as anything but a puppet of the Islamic and communist terrorists
Where was Antonio Gutless (wow Trump would be proud) with his “Article 99″on October 7?
he can Rot in Hell…as with the many others trying to destroy Israel
Nothing shocking from Zionists. But Talk about התגרות באומות at its finest.
Vomitable. Shameful.
Miriam, the days of the Mah Yoffis Yid are OVER. There will be NO MORE mah yoffis. And those who call for it are nothing more than capos.
@ milhouse
Moshiach came? Or is it just that you have a different understanding than Chazal on how we should act in golus?
