Israel says it has started to refuse visas for UN officials to enter the country as row escalates

Israel has said the “time has come to teach the United Nations a lesson” by banning UN officials from visiting the country – in a row over remarks from secretary-general Antonio Guterres that the deadly 7 October attack by Hamas “did not happen in a vacuum” and had to be seen in the context of decades of occupation of the Palestinians.

    Oh, Oliver boy, what did you do? But crushed a hand you never shook Then robbed the rights of people to be free Oh, Oliver boy, it’s a terrible state You left behind the worse off race Where dignity and pride fought for their place Oh, Oliver boy now you are gone And we’re still here where we belong Forgiveness being our strength you’ll never see
