Relatives of Israeli hostages in Gaza met overnight (Paris time) with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres in New York, reported the Israeli press. The meeting was reportedly tense, with participants pressuring the UN leader to do more to return the captives. The newspaper Yediot Aharonot reported that Antonio Guterres had been heavily criticized following his comments in recent weeks: in particular, he had declared that the Hamas attacks of October 7 had not been “produced outside of any context”. Relatives of hostages also reportedly criticized him for not having visited Israel since the start of the war. Guterres reportedly responded to them by expressing his “full solidarity”describing the kidnapping of their loved ones as « crime terrible »and adding that he was doing everything possible, through his own means, to obtain their release, which should occur as quickly as possible.
