Israeli Representative to UN Shreds UN’s Founding Agreement

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.
