Israel's ambassador is DETAINED by security at the UN General Assembly after he protested Iranian President Raisi's speech by holding up a picture of Mahsa Amini - who was murdered by Islamic nation's police for not wearing a hijab

Israel's ambassador to the United Nations was briefly detained by security on Tuesday for protesting during the Iranian president's speech.

Gilad Erdan held up a photo of Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old Iranian woman who was killed while in the custody of Tehran's morality police after being arrested for not covering enough of her hair.

Erdan walked silently towards the stage, holding the sign above his head. On it was written: 'Iranian women deserve freedom now!'

Ebrahim Raisi, the president of Iran, did not appear to notice Erdan, who then left the chamber and was later held by UN security.

Erdan later tweeted the UN was guilty of 'moral distortions' for giving a platform to Raisi, who has presided over a brutal crackdown on protest in his own country.

Erdan, ambassador since 2020, accused the UN of having rolled out the red carper 'for murderers and antisemites'.

'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',' tweeted Erdan.

The UNITED NOTHING, is just that, NOTHING. That was a huge mistake by President Truman, putting that worthless gang of thugs in New York. They should have been put in a neutral country like Switzerland.

TURN THE UN BUILDING INTO HOUSING FOR WOUNDED AMERICAN VETERANS.

CAFETERIA on ground floor. Other MEDICAL facilities on 2nd floor, etc.

Turn the UN building into a vacant lot, salt the ground and erect a tall fence with the sign, Abandon Hope All Who Enter Here.
