The Spin

Pro-Israel narrative

Guterres' comments are shocking and unacceptable. Those who show sympathy for those who committed a campaign of terror and mass murder against Israeli civilians are unfit to lead the UN. Guterres should resign immediately.

Pro-Palestine narrative

Guterres' comments came after Israeli air strikes killed another 700 civilians and as aid officials continued to warn of a humanitarian cataclysm. He is right to say that what Israel is doing to Gaza is a collective punishment for Palestinians as a whole. This is a severe violation of international law, and Guterres should not have to vacate his post.
