In a rare show of protest, most state delegations walked out of the U.N. General Assembly on Friday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared to deliver his address.
Netanyahu started delivering his speech at the 80th session of the assembly at 1300GMT.

The mass walkout was in protest of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has killed more than 65,000 Palestinians since October 2023, most of them women and children.
Netanyahu used his address to the U.N. General Assembly to reject accusations of genocide and starvation in Gaza.
