Israel's foreign minister says he is barring the United Nations secretary general from entering Israel, accusing him of being biased against the country.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday that he was declaring Antonio Guterres "persona non grata" and that he would be prevented from entering Israel.

The move deepens an already wide rift between Israel and the United Nations.
