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

Stop IGF Israel's genocidal forces
Israeli official who is literally shredding UN charter with his own hands claims others who are not doing that that they are. Orwellian.
FREE THE HOSTAGES
Yes…the impact would have been much stronger if he just used his hands…clearly the man is not theatre-trained.
That little little shredder is pretty cool.
When a kid sulks at his friends
UN backing either is messed up.
Free free Palestine ❤
Y’all are super anti semitic up in here fr fr. It’s sickening.
What theatrics!
What an absolute child…
Democracy is when 149 countries vote yes and 9 country vote no and the 149 countries dont get what they want
Democracy everybody.
If Apartheid Israel is not happy with UN, they can leave UN anytime!!! The whole world will be Happy if Apartheid Israel leave UN!!!
The mini-shredder 😭😭💀
What an odd man.
what's next? Israel rep will play world's smallest violin?
The Israeli envoy had literally brought a shredder to the podium and shredded the un charter in front of the whole United nation assembly.
I mean how obvious can it get????
Was the israeli talking about israel? XD
“You are shredding the UN charter” says a dude that’s actually shredding a UN charter with his hands. Sick !!
what a joker!
Hammas is pure evil. Decent British people stand with Israel
That should immediately revoke statehood for Israel.
"When things aren't going our way invoke the N@ziS" thats getting old now and played out. Everyone sees it for what it is.
Israel is a country established by a vote of the United Nations, and now it is openly tearing up the United Nations Charter.
