Netanyahu addresses near-empty UN chamber after walkouts

Original: “Grotesque”: Netanyahu’s U.N. Speech & Israel’s Impunity Netanyahu addressed a near-empty chamber at the UN General Asse

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to a near-empty General Assembly hall on Thursday after dozens of delegations walked out in protest at the start of his address. Critics, including analyst Daniel Levy, called the speech "grotesque" and argued it underscored both Israel's growing diplomatic isolation and what they see as ongoing impunity over its conduct in Gaza.

Why now: The mass walkout and criticism of Netanyahu's UN speech drew wide attention amid anger over Israel's actions in Gaza.
