Delegations from nearly 70 countries staged a walkout at the United Nations General Assembly as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the podium to deliver his address, according to Anadolu Agency.
The mass departure took place at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, underscoring the deep divisions among member states over Israel's positions and policies.
Anadolu Agency's report did not specify which countries participated in the walkout or provide further detail on the reaction from Israeli officials or other delegations that remained in the chamber.
The walkout is the latest in a series of diplomatic protests at the UN General Assembly this year, reflecting continued friction between Israel and a significant bloc of the international community over the ongoing conflict in Gaza and related regional issues.
