Hamas says a mass walkout of delegations before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations on Friday showed Israel’s “isolation” as a result of the Gaza war.
“Boycotting Netanyahu’s speech is one manifestation of Israel’s isolation and the consequences of the war of extermination,” Taher al-Nunu, the media adviser to the head of Hamas’s political bureau, says in a statement.
