More than 100 diplomats staged a dramatic walkout during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, 26 September, in one of the largest coordinated protests seen at the UN in years.
According to The Washington Post, over 100 diplomats from more than 50 countries were involved. Reuters described 'scores' leaving in unison as Netanyahu stepped up to the podium. Rows of empty seats quickly underscored the scale of the dissent.
