ISTANBUL, Sept 26 (Bernama-Anadolu) — In an extraordinary scene of protest, a majority of state delegations walked out of the UN General Assembly on Friday, just before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began his address to the body, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
Netanyahu started delivering his speech at the 80th session of the Assembly at 1300 GMT.
The mass walkout was in protest against Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has killed more than 65,000 Palestinians since October 2023, most of them women and children.
