The Palestine Authority’s envoy, Riyad Mansour, sat at a table marked ‘State of Palestine’ between UN member states Sri Lanka and Sudan.

The Palestinian Permanent Mission to the UN shared a clip on social media of the Ambassador of Egypt and the President of the General Assembly confirming the new seating arrangement for the State of Palestine delegation.

Israel was not happy with the move, claiming the move was influenced by political favouritism and that membership privileges should be reserved for member states only.

“Any decision and or action that improves the status of the Palestinians…is currently a reward… for terrorism in general and the Hamas terrorists in particular,” said Jonathan Miller, deputy Israel ambassador to the United Nations.

        The bots job is to assert what its owners want you to believe is true and remove anything that doesn’t fit the approved narrative, like the Al Jazeera article entitled Debate in nuclear-armed former colony fails to reassure global community that was removed a short while ago.
