UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres commented on the killing of six UNRWA workers in the Gaza Strip by IDF forces, and said that "what is happening there is completely unacceptable.
A school that became a shelter for about 12,000 people was damaged today by Israeli airstrikes again."
Israel's ambassador to the UN Danny Danon responded: "What is 'unacceptable' is the fact that the UN Secretary General refuses to recognize reality and continues to distort it. Terrorists who operate out of a civilian structure that was used by UNRWA in the past are not 'innocent actors'."
Israeli security services said on Thursday they had arrested an Israeli citizen on suspicion of involvement in an Iranian-backed assassination plot targeting prominent people including the prime minister.

Iranian and European officials will meet at the U.N. General Assembly in New York next week in a test of whether the two sides can find a path back to diplomacy over Iran's nuclear programme, while lowering tensions with Israel and the West.
