UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has said he is "shocked" at the reaction to a statement he made on Tuesday about the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The UN chief held a news conference to address comments which sparked anger from Israel yesterday, when he said Hamas attacks "did not happen in a vacuum".
He said he clearly condemned the "acts of terror" inflicted on Israel and clarified his words were "not justifying acts of terror by Hamas".
Israeli ambassador Gilad Erdan has called for his resignation.
