My personal and professional experience with UN secretary general Guterres belies what has happened.
I first met Guterres, after he visited UNRWA schools in Gaza, and then made a presentation about the fate of the Jewish people at the Diaspora Museum in Tel Aviv
Mentioning that his wife is the head of the Jewish Museum in Lisbon,Guterres introduced himself as a friend of the Jewish people.
I approached Guettres and asked if he had seen UNRWA text books which our agency had been reviewing for years.
Guterres said that he had heard that that the UNRWA texts were problematic and invited me to bring our UNRWA experts to his office, which resulted in four briefings for senior staff members of Guterres.
These briefings resulted in a request of Guterres to order UNRWA to remove UNRWA texts which praised those who murdered Jews.
Since that time, Guterres has hosted a parade of Jewish groups affiliated with New Israel Fund, who describe Israel as a criminal entity
Hence , the change in Guterres.
