77 Countries Outside UN Hall During Netanyahu Speech
The United Nations General Assembly witnessed an unprecedented diplomatic protest during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech, as 77 countries left their seats in the chamber immediately at the start of his address, while others chose to boycott the session in advance. The withdrawal included countries from all regions, among them 18 Arab states, 14 from Asia and Turkey, 20 from non-Arab Africa, 17 from Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as 8 European and Oceanian countries. Among those that remained in the chamber were the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, China, Colombia, and Azerbaijan, with claims that the UAE was the only Arab country not to withdraw during the speech. The United Nations has not yet issued an official list of all the countries that withdrew, reflecting an unprecedented escalation in the European and Arab stance toward Netanyahu’s speech.
