Since the October 7 Hamas terror attack in which more than 1,200 innocents were murdered and hundreds raped, tortured, and kidnapped, the United Nations has been clear and consistent in its messaging: Israel must exercise restraint, cease its anti-terrorism campaigns, facilitate humanitarian aid for Gaza residents, and agree to an immediate cease-fire with Hamas and now Hezbollah.

Like a record skipping, U.N. Secretary General António Guterres has repeated this mantra over and over and over and over again. And with rare exceptions, mostly in the early months following the attack, the Biden-Harris administration has been right behind him.
