Israeli ambassador shreds UN charter in protest of Palestine vote

Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, took to the podium at the UN General Assembly to protest the vote taking place on whether to expand Palestine's membership rights.

In order to demonstrate what Erdan said was happening to the UN as a result of this "destructive vote", the ambassador took out the UN Charter and shredded it.

"That's what you are doing, shredding the UN Charter," Erdan said.
