Gilad Erdan, Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations, shreds a page of the Charter of the United Nations as he addresses the resumed 10th Emergency Special Session of the General Assembly on “Illegal Israeli actions in occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory”.

The General Assembly later adopted a resolution that "Determines that the State of Palestine is qualified for membership in the United Nations in accordance with Article 4 of the Charter of the United Nations and should therefore be admitted to membership in the United Nations". The Resolution was adopted by a recorded vote with 143 votes in favour, 9 against and 25 abstentions.

Headline United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) Troops Keep Busy

Caption Description Many organized and individual activities are helping to bring variety to the lives of the some 6,000 soldiers from ten nations who make up the UNEF now serving in the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Desert. Although facilities for recreation, leave and leisure time are now far better than during the early months after UNEF reached Egypt, many of the troops-whether engaged on patrolling the armistice line, guard duties or clearing mine fields - must find most of their recreation close to their work. In many cases, they have done so with much ingenuity and according to the individual interests of the members of the several different contingents.

The donkey is the mascot of the Canadian Postal Corps at Rafah. For a joke the "posties" load up their donkey with United Nations mail.
