Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday before a significantly depleted audience, Democracy Now! reported. Dozens of country delegations departed in protest as his address began, leaving visible empty seats in the chamber.
The walkout reflected international opposition to Israeli policies, particularly regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Palestinian territories. Netanyahu's appearance came amid mounting global criticism of Israel's military operations and treatment of civilians.
