UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday called for combating hatred in the world, receiving the Theodor Herzl Prize in a virtual ceremony, awarded by the World Jewish Congress for the first time to a leader of Nations United.

"Along with COVID-19, another virus has spread: Anti-Semitism and hatred in many forms," ​​he said, branding the fact of "seeing today marches of neo-Nazis and white supremacists" as "frightening."

"We must fight together against hatred in all its forms," Guterres demanded, referring to the victims who may be Jews, Muslims, migrants or refugees.

The annual Theodor Herzl Award recognizes personalities working to promote Herzl's ideals for a more secure and tolerant world for Jews.

Among previous recipients are German Chancellor Angela Merkel (2019) and US President-elect Joe Biden (2016).

Last year, Nikki Haley, former US Ambassador to the UN, received the prestigious World Jewish Congress award.

"The UN's bias towards Israel has long undermined peace efforts. Israel is not about to go away – when the world recognizes this, peace will be possible," the former South Carolina governor stated.
