Erdan, who claimed that the decision in question is "shocking and wrong," alleged that the UN Secretary-General "acts with hatred towards Israel" and claimed that the only person included in the blacklist is the UN Secretary-General. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also made a statement on social media regarding the decision to put the Israeli army on the blacklist. Netanyahu used the expression "UN put itself on the black list of history by adopting Hamas' absurd claims."

"ISRAELI ARMY IS THE MOST MORAL ARMY IN THE WORLD"

Netanyahu, who claimed that the Israeli army is "the most moral army in the world," argued that no decision made by UN Secretary-General Guterres can change this.

According to Israel National News, UN Secretary-General Guterres informed Israel's military attaché in Washington, Major General Hedi Silberman, about the issue. It was stated that Guterres decided to include Israel on the blacklist of countries and organizations that harm children in conflict zones, along with Russia and terrorist organizations such as ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram.

According to the news, Israel's efforts to convince Guterres to change this decision have been unsuccessful, and Israel will be included in the blacklist to be published next week. It is estimated that the name of the Israeli state will not be explicitly mentioned in the list, but the responsible party will be defined as the "Israeli army".
