‘Shame on You’: Israeli Envoy Shreds UN Charter Supporting Palestine | Watch video

Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan made a dramatic statement at the United Nations General Assembly by tearing up the UN Charter in protest just before the assembly passed a resolution supporting full membership for Palestine. The resolution, which received overwhelming support with 143 votes in favour, asked the Security Council to grant full membership to Palestine, currently holding observer status at the UN. Twenty-five countries abstained from the vote, while nine, including the United States and Israel, voted against it. Erdan criticised the resolution as a "clear violation" of the UN Charter and accused it of circumventing the US veto in the Security Council. He described his actions as a symbolic reflection of the assembly's disregard for the principles outlined in the UN Charter. #IsraeliEnvoyShredsUNCharter #UNCharterShred #Israel #Palestine #UN #UNGA #SecurityCouncil #Resolution #FullMembership #IsraeliEnvoy #GiladErdan #ShameOnYou #Conflict #MiddleEast #Diplomacy #InternationalRelations #PeaceEfforts ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.155~

Similarly, deputy State Department spokesman Vedant Patel said that the U.S. has... ... “been very clear consistently that premature actions in New York — even with the best intentions — will not achieve statehood for the Palestinian people.”. In response to the failed vote, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador Riyad Mansour told the council that the decision would not deter the Palestinian people. The fact that this resolution did not pass will not break our will and it will not defeat our determination, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador, via Associated Press. We will not stop in our effort. The state of Palestine is inevitable. It is real. Perhaps they see it as far away, but we see it as near, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N.
