U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres slammed Israel's military actions in Gaza, stating the number of civilian casualties shows something is 'clearly wrong.'
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres condemned Israel's military operations in Gaza as 'clearly wrong' on Wednesday, citing Hamas-provided civilian death tolls. Guterres made the comments in an interview with Reuters, saying Israel was doing itself no favors with regard to 'global public opinion.' Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas in Gaza, and its leaders have rejected international calls for a cease-fire.
Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst interviewed an Israeli military spokesman who made the claim on Wednesday. Yingst, who has been on the ground in Gaza and spoken with doctors and other sources there, contested the spokesman's claim. 'We know, and I can say for sure, there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza,' the official said. 'Obviously, the situation is not easy.' 'I would push back on that, sir.
We are in intense negotiations with Israel, with U.S., with Egypt, in order to make sure that we have an effective humanitarian aid to Gaza,' Guterres said. 'Until now it has been too little, too late.' Fox News' Anders Hagstrom and Reuters contributed to this report.
