Prosor storms out of Ahmadinejad speech at UN meeting
None
Israeli Ambassador Ron Prosor has stormed out of a high-level meeting on the rule of law at the United Nations during Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech.
"A leader of a lawbreaking nation that repeatedly violates the basic principles of the rule of law does not have a place in this hall," Prosor said on his way out. "It's an absolute disgrace that a person like him is allowed to express himself on such an important issue. To allow Ahmadinejad to speak at the UN about the rule of law is like appointing a pyromaniac to be a fire chief." (Yitzhak Benhorin)
