During an address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced a notable demonstration as numerous individuals departed the hall in protest as he began his speech. Some attendees were heard applauding the Prime Minister prior to his remarks.
This incident follows recent statements by US President Donald Trump indicating that the United States would not permit Israel to annex the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
