19:00 2024-09-27|Several Arab and international delegations walked out of the United Nations General Assembly as 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the stage to deliver his speech during the 79th session of the assembly.
Diplomats at the UN chanted slogans against Netanyahu in protest of ongoing Israeli Occupation aggression in Gaza and Lebanon, just moments before his speech.
Meanwhile, large demonstrations took place outside Netanyahu's residence in New York, resulting in the arrest of over 20 protesters by US police.
Protesters held signs calling for Netanyahu to be tried as a war criminal for his role in the massacres committed against Palestinians in Gaza.
