Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen called out US Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday, saying "shame on him" in an answer to a reporter's question at the United Nations stakeout.
Earlier, Cohen said he would not meet with Guterres due to the secretary-general's criticism of Israel's strikes on Gaza.
At the UN stakeout today, according to the reporter who asked Cohen the question, Guterres' office had said: "You can't solve the problem until you know the causes of the problem."
Cohen mentioned allegations of crimes committed by Hamas, adding that “there is no cause for this.”
