Outgoing Israeli envoy calls for UN building in Jerusalem to be 'erased from earth'

Israel's outgoing ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, said that the organisation's building in Jerusalem should be "erased from the face of the earth". 

Erdan made the remarks in an interview with i24News, a preview of which was published on Tuesday evening. 

"The UN building in Jerusalem needs to be closed and erased from the face of the earth. This building may look beautiful on the outside, but it is crooked and distorted from within."
