Israeli delegation seen laughing during UN vote on Palestine membership

An Israeli delegate was seen laughing during a UN vote to reconsider and support the full membership of Palestine into the bloc.

The UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to pass the resolution for the Palestinian bid to become a full UN member by recognising it as qualified to join and recommending the UN Security Council “reconsider the matter favourably”.

143 countries supported the resolution, 9 voted against it, and 25 abstained.

It comes as more than 100,000 Palestinians have fled the Rafah this week, according to the UN as Israel prepares to carry out an offensive in the region.

  1. I would laugh as well when he said protect innocent civilians. Was he talking about the ones spitting on that dead woman’s body on the 7th of October or the ones keeping Israelis hostages or may be the ones that enjoyed following the Hamas murderers to commit themselves more atrocities? That level of hypocrisy is definitely a laughing matter…and a crying one.

  2. When israel talked on the stage, palestine delegation laughed all the time. Why you dont make video about that? (I think it is because haters gone hate)

    I see that most people accused and hated israel. But To be honest, what Israel delegation said makes sense

  3. jews ≠ zionists
    but 90% ARE indeed zionists
    most of em are israelis
    so stop hating on everyone that they dont recognize the different cause you clearly you hypocrits dont care at all . if you did . you wouldv stopped this madness before it happened

  4. The Jews are resilience, in the face of all these antisemitic people of the world they can still thrive! Go on and show the world what is live as they seek to glorify death cult and a people who is for war.

  5. International destabilizing bandits divide Palestine and rule it through murder, violence, cruelty, injustice, inhumanity and aggression, and most importantly, they have weapons of silence and submission, murderers of Palestinian civilians and international destabilizing bandits behave like demons and possessed, and apparently these international destabilizing bandits are ahead of everyone and behind, and this was pointed out by his own bad behavior by the Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Mr. Erdan, at the UN General Assembly on the issue of considering Palestine's application for membership in the UN, and I have a lot of questions about the consideration of Palestine's application for membership in the UN, is it not so now and I cannot support the consideration of the Palestinian application to join the UN
    _
    and I have questions about the financing and support of terrorists and extremists by the Palestinian Authority, and I have nothing against Palestine joining the UN, and I also have questions about how long extremist terrorists will stay in Palestine and be glorified

  6. The UN is an idiot, how can a terrorist nation like this actually be given UN membership, they rape women, kidnap babies, burn women and babies to death but instead are given UN membership, this is truly a vote of barbaric countries.

  7. (Genesis 32:22-31) That night Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that He could not overpower him, He touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was injured. Then the man said, “Let Me go, for it is daybreak.”

    But Jacob replied, “I will not let You go unless you bless me.”Then the man said, “Israel, you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.” Then He blessed him there. So Jacob said, “I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”

  8. I see how people’s misconception on Israeli Palestinian problem is progressing
    I do not believe that Israel is principally against Palestinian state . What the world does not understand as we are not in their shoes is that Israel has fully secure the self in order to agree for having hostile state around them. They are surrounded by anyway by so many Arab states with constant threat and Palestinian people may come across as under the so called occupation but one should look at the cause and effect. Palestinians should understand that pestering and terrorizing a strong neighbor for the last 80 years won’t take them far. They should start accepting the peace and the existence of Jewish state and stop educating their children to hate and to praise them self suicidal attacks.

  9. They are laughing because when they said protect civilians they are referring to only Palestinians not Jews civilians. Israel will not stop hunting down who is responsible on Oct.7 don't play the Victim Palestine you reap what you sow. You teach your children about hating the Jews you can completely compare them both and I can say it's not Israel is at fault they are defending themselves.

  10. Today it is clear to everyone that the UN is an anti-Semitic organization whose daily goal is hatred of Israel. When the war is over, a huge change will have to be made in this anti-Semitic organization or it will have to be completely dismantled.
