Israel’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Gilad Erdan, in his speech to the General Assembly session, protested the positive developments regarding Palestine’s UN membership yesterday. Pointing to the countries that support membership, the Israeli representative said, “You are tearing up the UN Charter with your own hands,” and shredded a copy of the UN’s founding agreement document in a paper shredder. His scandalous action quickly spread on social media.

With the decision adopted yesterday with 143 “yes” votes against 9 “no” votes, some rights were granted to Palestine, status of which is “observer,” and then full membership of the country was requested to be re-discussed in the UN Security Council.

Jordan’s King: Israel’s Expanded War Threatens Global Security

On Jun 17, 2025

Speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, King Abdullah II of Jordan warned that Israel’s expansion of its offensive to include Iran threatens global security, stating, “It is impossible to say where the borders of this battlefield will end. This is a threat to people all over the world.”

He strongly criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza, saying, “Today, the world is in a state of moral collapse. What was once seen as an atrocity—like the bombing of a hospital—has become commonplace. Since then, the WHO has documented nearly 700 attacks on Gaza’s healthcare facilities.”

“The targeting of civilians, health workers, and journalists has become routine. Famine is being used as a weapon against children,” he added.

King Abdullah called on the international community to act not only in Ukraine but also in Palestine: “The world’s longest and most destructive conflict must end. Palestinians deserve freedom, sovereignty, and statehood, like all people.”

He warned that without decisive action, Israeli bulldozers “will also flatten the borders that define moral conduct.” Reaffirming Jordan’s commitment to peace, he said the only solution lies in a just peace based on international law and mutual recognition.
