UNGA Walkout on Israeli PM: Seven times delegates walked out to protest controversial leaders
Delegates walked out of the UN General Assembly during Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to protest Israel's war in Gaza. This protest reflects increasing global demand for a ceasefire, a two-state solution, and increased aid to Gaza. Several countries have recently recognized Palestinian statehood, but Netanyahu vowed to prevent the creation of an independent Palestinian state. The walkout is one of many historical walkouts that have occurred in the UN. Past walkouts have included protests against Russia’s actions in Ukraine, discriminatory actions against the LGBTQ+ community, and speeches delivered by former Iranian President Ahmadinejad, amongst others.
