Israeli officials blasted the United Nations after accusing the body of adding Israeli entities to a sexual violence blacklist that also includes the terrorist group Hamas.

«We are done with this UN Secretary-General. Guterres has put Israel on the same blacklist along with Hamas, ISIS and the most depraved terrorist organizations in the world. This is a moral disgrace that proves that Guterres has lost all credibility,» Israel’s ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.

A spokesperson for Danon said Israel was officially freezing relations with the secretary-general’s office as long as Antonio Guterres holds the position.

Danon claimed Guterres decided to include Israeli entities on a blacklist regarding sexual violence in conflict zones, prompting the ambassador to freeze relations with the U.N. Secretary-General’s Office.

«We are a strong democracy. We invited the representatives of the U.N. to come to Israel to check those ridiculous allegations. They chose not to come. They chose to continue with the campaign against Israel. We saw the lies in The New York Times, and now we see another lie coming from the U.N.,» Danon said in a video shared with Fox News Digital.

«We are done with this Secretary-General,» he concluded.

The United Nations has not confirmed the inclusion of Israel on a sexual blacklist. The U.N. did not respond to an inquiry from Fox News Digital.

Fox News Digital also reached out to The New York Times for comment.

ISRAEL FOREIGN MINISTRY CONDEMNS NEW YORK TIMES PIECE AS ‘ONE OF THE WORST BLOOD LIBELS’ IN MODERN PRESS

The Jerusalem Post first reported Wednesday night that the Israeli Prison Service will be included on the U.N.’s list of countries that commit sexual violence in conflict zones.

In early May, The New York Times published an opinion piece from writer Nicholas Kristof accusing Israeli prison guards of conducting institutionalized sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners. Kristof cited a 2025 U.N. report that called alleged Israeli sexual abuse of Palestinians «standard operating procedures towards Palestinians.»

Israeli officials strongly rejected the piece’s premises and accused Kristof and the Times of blood libel, threatening to sue the outlet in American courts.

THE UN’S BETRAYAL AND ISRAEL’S FIGHT FOR TRUTH

«In an unfathomable inversion of reality, and through an endless stream of baseless lies, propagandist Nicholas Kristof turns the victim into the accused. Israel -— whose citizens were the victims of the most horrific sexual crimes committed by Hamas on October 7, and whose hostages were later subjected to further sexual abuse -— is portrayed as the guilty party,» the Israel Foreign Ministry wrote in a post on X in response to the Times piece.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry further commented Thursday on the reported U.N. blacklisting.

«Over the past year, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN and the Israeli delegation held a series of meetings with U.N. representatives and provided documents, data, as well as a detailed response to all the allegations that were raised. Despite this, the U.N. Secretary-General chose to advance a political decision and include Israel alongside Hamas and terrorist organizations,» the foreign ministry wrote in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.

«The shameful and absurd U.N. decision to include Israeli entities in the annex to the CRSV report is further proof of the UN’s true nature: a politicized and corrupt organization that has abandoned its founding principles and systematically targets Israel as its primary mission. This decision is yet another example of the UN’s long-standing, institutionalized hostility toward Israel. Today’s decision must be understood in its true context: an attempt to create a fake symmetry between Israel and the real sexual atrocities committed by Hamas. This is its sole motivation. The person behind this farce is Antonio Guterres,» the statement continued.

«This is the same Guterres who sought to ‘contextualize’ the October 7 massacre, who covered up the involvement of UN employees in those atrocities, and who has dragged the UN to its lowest point. Guterres is now exploiting his final months as Secretary-General to fabricate baseless accusations against Israel, completely devoid of any factual merit. Israel has comprehensively, thoroughly, and unequivocally refuted these allegations. Given that António Guterres has chosen to violate every standard of honesty, integrity, and professionalism, Israel has decided to sever all ties with the Secretary-General’s Office and will wait until a new UN Secretary-General is appointed,» the statement concluded.

Several months into his administration, New York City socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is taking a page from Elon Musk’s book by launching a city Commission on Government Efficiency, or «COGE.»

Mamdani’s commission, however, will be staffed by a group of progressives and Democrats, including a George Soros-aligned chair, according to a statement from New York City.

The mayor said on Thursday that the commission «will find ways for our city to work smarter, faster, and more effectively for working people.» He emphasized that «New Yorkers deserve a city government as careful with their money as they are.»

A statement by the city said COGE will be chaired by Patrick Gaspard, a longtime Democratic operative who formerly worked as executive director of the Democratic National Committee and president of the Soros family’s Open Society Foundation.

The statement said Mamdani has charged the commission with reviewing the «entire New York City Charter» to determine ways to «better support public excellence by improving efficiency, modernizing city government and ensuring government keeps pace with New Yorkers’ needs.»

According to the statement, COGE is expected to remove «outdated bureaucratic barriers that slow infrastructure projects and delay services»; equip city agencies with the authority, enforcement tools and flexibility they need to deliver programs effectively; and modernize government to improve efficiency and savings, reserve and budget practices.

The commission will also hold 10 public hearings across New York’s five boroughs, after which proposals will be brought to voters through the upcoming November ballot.

Mamdani emphasized in the statement that «for too long, bureaucracy has stood in the way of delivering the housing, transit, child care and public services our city needs.» He added that «restoring faith in government starts with proving government can actually deliver.»

This comes after Mamdani met with current Open Society Foundation board chair Alex Soros, George Soros’ son, at his Manhattan residence.

The city wrote on X that it is «excited» to work with Gaspard on the commission.

Gaspard, who chaired the Open Society Foundation between 2017 and 2020 and previously served as a senior advisor to former president Barack Obama, said that «New Yorkers deserve and need a government of the possible — one that can urgently build infrastructure, promote small business growth, and make the city more livable with accessible childcare and affordable groceries.»

Gaspard added, «I am grateful to Mayor Mamdani for the opportunity to chair this commission, and I look forward to listening to New Yorkers to develop the charter for the 21st century government we need.»

In an Open Society Foundation statement announcing his departure in 2020, Gaspard called it a «profound honor» to lead the Soros-linked organization. He wrote that «fundamental social change doesn’t customarily occur in a revolutionary moment. Instead, what is needed is the partnership of activists, government, and the nonprofit sector, collaborating over time and space in unity and solidarity.»

«This is what I worked to do at Open Society,» he said, adding, «My commitment now will be to re-enter the world of politics and ideas, where I can continue the struggle against oppression everywhere.»

According to the city, the commission will also include Susan Kang, a member of the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America and author of the book «Human Rights and Labor Solidarity: Trade Unions in the Global Economy.»

Theodore Moore, executive director of ALIGN, a progressive advocacy organization, where the city said he has focused on «setting the organization’s strategic vision for worker power and climate justice.»

Besides them, there were several other activists and community leaders, most of whom are associated with the Democratic Party in various forms. Notably absent from the commission, however, were any New York Republicans.

Joe Borelli, a former Republican New York City councilmember who has long advocated for city government reform, responded to COGE’s launch by commenting on X, «How haven’t I been appointed to this already, @ZohranKMamdani?»

Borelli told Fox News Digital that «as the new mayor and his team are taking socialist governance out for its American test drive, they are realizing that there needs to be a constant source of revenue to pay for all.»

«Ironically,» he continued, «they are coming to see that it’s big government that stands in the way of most economic growth.»

Fox News Digital reached out to the mayor’s office, the Open Society Foundation, Gaspard, Moore and Kang for comment.
