Israel has called for the resignation of United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres over his comments on the recent conflict in Gaza. Guterres had expressed concern over the high number of civilian casualties in Gaza, which he attributed to Israel's military actions. He also called for an end to the violence and for a return to negotiations. Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, criticized Guterres' comments, stating that they were biased and ignored the role of Hamas in the conflict. Erdan also accused the UN of having a long-standing bias against Israel.

The recent conflict in Gaza, which took place in May 2021, resulted in the deaths of over 200 people, the majority of whom were Palestinians. Israel has maintained that its military actions were in response to rocket attacks from Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza. The conflict has drawn international attention and has been the subject of debate at the UN.

The call for Guterres' resignation comes at a time when the UN is facing criticism for its handling of various global issues. However, it is worth noting that the Secretary-General's role is largely symbolic and does not have the power to enforce decisions. The UN has not yet responded to Israel's call for Guterres' resignation.
