THE UNITED NATIONS:

The United Nation’s General Assembly in New York has resumed its work after an unprecedented suspension of its proceedings that began last Friday.

The Assembly ground to a halt at the end of last week when delegates broke into uncontrollable fits of laughter after Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told them he hoped Israel would comply with the rulings of the UN’s supreme court, the International Court of Justice, and avoid the genocide of the Palestinian population in Gaza during the Israeli/Hamas war.

An observer present at the time said the Palestinian delegation (main picture) was the first to start laughing and others soon followed.

“The laughter just kept building and building,” the observer said.

“Antonio Guterres at first looked somewhat bewildered by people laughing, but after he quickly re-read what he had just said he too started cackling and just couldn’t stop.

“He tried several times to resume his address but he was laughing so hard by then that he just couldn’t get a word out.

“More and more delegates started doubling up with laughter as they began hearing in their headphones the translation of the Secretary-General’s initial remark.

“Once they started they just couldn’t stop laughing. Tears were flowing down people’s cheeks.

“Everyone was laughing so hard they couldn’t even stand or walk out of the Assembly.

“They all just sat in their seats as several days passed until finally the laughter gradually slowed down and delegates began just tittering for many hours, followed by a final collective sigh, then a relieved silence before they all resumed the meeting and picked up where they had left off last Friday,” the observer said.
