During a U.N. Security Council meeting, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations expressed strong opposition to the idea of Palestinian statehood. He referenced historical ties between Palestinian nationalism and Nazi ideology, highlighting the relationship between the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Adolf Hitler during World War II.
The Grand Mufti, a key figure in Palestinian nationalism, was known for his support of Nazi ideology and anti-Semitic views. Despite seeking Hitler's assistance in removing British and Jewish presence in the Holy Land, his requests were denied.
