NEW YORK — Several hundred diplomats from around the world are staging a walkout from the UN General Assembly hall as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu enters to deliver his speech.
Those walking out include representatives from Arab, Muslim and African countries but also several from European states.
Netanyahu’s supporters try to draw attention away from the spectacle by loudly applauding and standing for several minutes.
Joining the premier’s entourage in the side-gallery with Sara Netanyahu is New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
