“It should not be possible for a vile murderer who calls for the destruction of Israel to be given a platform here at the UN. The UN has, once again, reached a new moral low,” Erdan stated.

Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan protested during the address at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday by Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, known as the “Butcher of Tehran” – and was then removed from the hall. and detained.
The ambassador told Fox News Digital that he was detained with “unacceptable” brutality. He was later released.
Erdan had protested by holding up a banner with a photograph of Mahsa Amini, a woman who was brutally murdered last year after being arrested by the country’s “morality police,” with the phrase, “Iranian women deserve freedom now!”
While the UN provided a platform for the evil Iranian leader, hundreds of Iranians were outside, pleading for freedom.
“While the butcher of Tehran is speaking at the UN and is being respected by the international community, hundreds of Iranians are protesting outside, shouting and calling on the international community to wake up and help them. It is a disgrace that member states stay to listen to a mass murderer. It should not be possible for a murderer with blood on his hands to receive a platform here at the UN,” Erdan stated.
“I left the speech to make it clear that the State of Israel stands by the Iranian people. I call on the international community to stop the madness and prevent murderers and anti-Semites from coming and speaking here at the UN.”
New moral stain for the UN ‼️
When President Raisi of Iran, the “Butcher of Tehran,” began his speech, I waved a picture of Mahsa Amini, the innocent Iranian woman who was brutally murdered by the regime one year ago for not wearing a hijab “properly.”
