The protester who confronted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at his United Nations conference on Tuesday gained access to the event by presenting a diplomatic ID accredited to Israel’s U.N. mission.

NewsMax’s United Nations correspondent Stewart Stogel also discovered that the U.N. launched an investigation as to who at the Israeli mission authorized the issuing of the ID card.

The protester, Karnit Goldwasser, is the wife of Israel soldier Ehud Goldwasser, who was one of two servicemen kidnapped by Hezbollah near the Lebanese border in July 2006.

The kidnappings sparked Israel’s month-long bombardment of Lebanon. Their release was also a condition of Israel’s ceasefire, but their fate remains unknown.

At the news conference, Ahmadinejad naturally mistook Goldwasser for a reporter and fielded her question.

According to the Web site ynetnews.com, she said: “Hello, my name is Karnit, the wife of Ehud Goldwasser, the soldier who has been held captive for over a year. Since you are the man that is behind the kidnapping due to the aid you grant Hezbollah, why don’t you allow the Red Cross to visit the two soldiers?”

Ahmadinejad ignored the question, but “the look on his face changed the moment he realized who was facing him and what I wanted from him,” Goldwasser told ynetnews.

She was escorted out of the room by security, but she said later: “I am sure it did something to [Ahmadinejad’s] heart when he heard that.”
