(Afaq News)-- A video clip has circulated on social media claiming to show the moment the Israeli representative to the United Nations was expelled after "harassing" an Iranian diplomat during meetings of the organization's General Assembly. The video has surpassed one and a half million views on X alone, driven by a description that says: "The Israeli ambassador to the United Nations was expelled from the General Assembly after he went up to the central aisle to cause disturbance and harassment against the Iranian speaker.",
The clip shows UN security personnel and staff escorting a man in a formal suit out of the building, documenting a tense scene. A reverse search of the video indicates that there are older copies of the circulating video dated September 20, 2023.
Jordan's official channel, "Al-Mamlaka," was among the media outlets that aired the circulating video at that time, noting that the incident occurred on September 19. The channel reported that viewers witnessed the moment "Israeli representative Gilad Erdan was expelled from the General Assembly hall during a speech by the Iranian president.",
At that time, the representative had raised a banner against the Iranian government. The video resurfaced after a recent social media clip showed the Israeli representative to the United Nations displaying a satellite communication device of the "Starlink" type to an Iranian diplomat.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated before the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday that the fall of the Iranian government is "only a matter of time." During his speech, Netanyahu showcased the "Starlink" device, indicating that Tehran's leaders fear the technology "that allows people to access the truth, exercise their right to choose, and enjoy freedom of thought and freedom of expression."
He announced that he would leave the device with the President of the General Assembly to hand it over to the Iranian delegation, which was absent during his speech. Netanyahu often resorts to using theatrical means and visual tools during his speeches at the United Nations to highlight a specific point, which is often related to Iran. The Iranian delegation had placed a picture of the former commander of the Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani - who was killed in a U.S. drone strike near Baghdad Airport in early 2020 - on their table before leaving the session of the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, coinciding with Netanyahu's speech.
