The Foreign Ministry sharply criticized UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who posted that he was "shocked" by reports of casualties from gunfire at aid distribution centers in Gaza Strip, blaming Israel for the incident. The Foreign Ministry's statement read: "What a shame. Even if you search carefully, there's one word you won't find in the Secretary-General's statement: Hamas. Does the UN really care about providing aid to Gaza residents, or is it more focused on feeding Hamas and its war machine?"
