UN Secretary-General Guterres admits special rapporteurs are 'out of control' regarding Israel

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has acknowledged that several special rapporteurs within the UN have become "totally out of control" concerning their views on Israel. In an interview with the Financial Times, Guterres made these remarks, which drew a sharp response from Israel's UN Ambassador, Danny Danon. Danon told The Jerusalem Post that it was "time to ask who let them go out of control in the first place" and that the situation "happened on his watch." Despite this admission regarding individual rapporteurs, Guterres strongly refuted claims of institutional bias against Israel within the UN as a whole. He stated, "I totally refuse the idea of bias" and asserted that the UN has been "on the right side of history" by defending peace efforts in the Middle East. Guterres also commented on the U.S. President's Board of Peace initiative, suggesting that the UN should not be concerned about being supplanted, and that "it is for others to be worried about what they are doing" in Gaza. He further criticized the tendency of superpowers like the U.S. and Russia to use their veto power in the UN Security Council, expressing concern that a "sense of impunity is now prevailing" and diminishing the Council's leverage.
