Gilad Erdan as the Israeli Ambassador was disappointed with his colleagues at the United Nations (UN) who supported the UN resolution regarding Palestine. Disappointment followed by anger, the Israeli Ambassador tore up the UN charter paper before the resolution on full Palestinian membership was passed.
The UN General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly for a resolution asking the Security Council to reconsider Palestine’s status as a full member on Friday (10/05/2024). The results of this vote made certain parties disappointed and angry, especially the Israeli side.
Israel’s disappointment was expressed through its ambassador in a speech. Today, you will also privilege and write a letter to the future terror state Hamas. You have opened the UN to the modern Nazis, to the Hitlers of our time….So here it is. “I present to you the future results of today’s vote…the Presidential candidate, Yahya Sinwar, the tyrannical President of the Hamas State, sponsored by the UN, and he thanks you profusely, the General Assembly,” said Gilad Erdan while holding up a picture of Sinwar, Hamas leader in Gaza, citing The Economic Times.
