Given the UN’s track record regarding Israel, upon hearing this news, Guterres could probably scarcely contain his glee.

“Netanyahu tells UN chief Iran building missile production sites in Syria, Lebanon,” by Itamar Eichner, Ynet News, August 28, 2017:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told United Nations
Secretary-General António Guterres Monday that Iran is building sites to produce precision-guided missiles in Syria and Lebanon, with the aim of
using them against Israel.

At the start of a meeting in Jerusalem, Netanyahu accused Iran of
turning Syria into a “base of military entrenchment as part of its
declared goal to eradicate Israel.”

“It is also building sites to produce precision-guided missiles
towards that end, in both Syria and in Lebanon. This is something Israel
cannot accept. This is something the UN should not accept,” Netanyahu
said as the two spoke during a joint press conference.

Iran, Israel’s arch-enemy, has been Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad’s staunchest backer and has provided militia fighters and
terror groups such as Hezbollah to help him in Syria’s civil war.

The prime minister lamented its “troubled relationship” with the UN,
decrying what he described as an “absurd obsession with Israel,” which
uses “flagrantly discriminatory tactics. You don’t have to be the
Israeli prime minister to understand that, and I think people of good
faith and common sense understand that.”

Netanyahu criticized the UN, saying that it fails to check
Palestinian hate speech, “absurdly denies” Jewish connections to
Jerusalem and has not stopped arms from reaching Hezbollah in Lebanon.

He was referring to a recent UN cultural agency resolution about
Jerusalem that angered Israel after it failed to acknowledge Jewish ties
with the city and recently denied Israeli sovereignty over the city.

Israel also criticized the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon, or
UNIFIL, for being too soft on Iranian-backed Hezbollah forces in the
border area. The US recently backed Israel in its claims and suggested
that more responsibilities be demanded of the group to curb Hezbollah’s
activities….
