Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced a walkout at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) as he addressed the body on Friday. The mass exit came after delegates spent days discussing the situation in Gaza and proposals to end the nearly two-year war. The walkout was in stark contrast to the long round of applause that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas received when he addressed the UNGA virtually on Thursday. Netanyahu revealed that his speech was being broadcast to Gazans via speakers surrounding the Gaza Strip and streamed to their cell phones. He demanded the release of the 48 remaining hostages held in Gaza and warned those holding them, including Hamas leaders, that Israel would hunt them down if they were not released.
