Netanyahu Calls Departing UN Delegates 'Moral Cowards' After Dozens Walk Out as He Took the Podium
The Palestinian delegation organized the protest as Netanyahu defended Israel’s Gaza campaign and called departing envoys “moral cowards,” with scores of seats left empty.
- On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly, where dozens of delegates walked out in protest as he reached the rostrum, leaving large sections of the chamber visibly empty.
- The Palestinian Mission to the UN urged representatives from 193 nations to "collectively walk out of the assembly" to protest Israel's military actions in Gaza and alleged war crimes and illegal occupation.
- Netanyahu branded the departing delegates "moral cowards" and defended Israel's strikes on Iran as "one of the easiest decisions" he has made, claiming many world leaders privately thanked him for the action.
- The address followed a bitter public feud with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who accused Netanyahu of war crimes and called for his arrest; Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon defended the trip as necessary.
- With Israel's general election roughly five weeks away, analysts described the address as a "campaign speech" targeting both Mamdani and Iran; Netanyahu departed on a "tight schedule" before the Jewish holiday of Sukkot began Friday.
