UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter

The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip.

The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to the UN, Gilad Erdan, delivered a fiery denunciation of the resolution and its backers before the vote, and fed pages of the UN charter into a shredder. The Palestinian envoy, Riyad Mansour, highlighted that the vote was being held at a time when Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city that is the last haven for many people, faced attack from Israeli forces

Israel was created by a UN resolution, shredding the "UN charter"; means that he sawed the tree on which he is sitting

Every Israeli accusation is a confession!

With all the American taxpayers billions, all what he could find is an Alibaba squeaking shredder?

Doesnt the Israeli ambassador realise most of the world is sick of Israels war against Gaza. Israel is now isolated more than ever before.

It is very confusing, when Israel talks about anti-Semitism, but Israel implements anti-Semitism practices against Palestinians...

If that shredder was supplied by the US, they will have look into wether Israel are using it to break the international law of cringe.
