"Israeli UN Ambassador Displays Hitler Photo During Palestinian Statehood Meeting"

Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, vehemently opposed the idea of Palestinian statehood during a U.N. Security Council meeting, holding up a World War II-era photo of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem meeting with Adolf Hitler to emphasize his point. Erdan accused the U.N. of supporting Palestinian statehood, likening it to reinforcing modern-day Nazi Jihadists. The Palestinian Authority's bid for U.N. membership is being revived, but Israel insists that statehood should be negotiated with them and not sidestepped through the U.N.
