AhlulBayt News Agency: Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan shredded the UN charter at the United Nations General Assembly just before it passed a resolution for supporting full membership of Palestine.
The Israeli envoy Erdan called the resolution a “clear violation” of the UN Charter and said that it subverted the US veto in the Security Council last month.
Erdan said he is “holding up the mirror” for General Assembly members while shredding the UN Charter.
In the same speech, the Israeli delegate to the United Nations raised a poster of Yahya Sinwar, the leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip, stating: “President of the state of Hamas, a state supposedly funded by the United Nations.”
The UNGA on Friday voted overwhelmingly for a resolution asking the Security Council to make Palestine, which has UN observer status, a full member.
The resolution was passed by a resounding majority of 143 votes in favour including by India while 25 countries abstained, and nine nations, including the United States and Israel, voted against it.
