Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked the Palestinian Authority’s recent push for international recognition as dozens of diplomats walked out of his speech at the United Nations. The incident occurred on Tuesday during the General Assembly session, where Netanyahu criticized the Palestinian leadership’s efforts to secure recognition without engaging in peace talks with Israel. His speech came after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called for a UN-led conference early next year to restart peace negotiations.
In his address, Netanyahu condemned the Palestinian Authority’s pursuit of UN recognition as a means of bypassing direct negotiations, which he argued were the only path to a lasting peace agreement. He reiterated Israel’s position that any resolution to the conflict must come through direct talks between the parties involved. The Israeli leader also highlighted recent peace agreements with Arab nations as evidence of Israel’s commitment to diplomacy and regional stability.
Following Netanyahu’s remarks, diplomats from several countries, including Turkey, Malaysia, and the European Union, walked out of the General Assembly hall in protest. The move was seen as a show of solidarity with the Palestinian cause and a rejection of Netanyahu’s stance on the peace process. Palestinian representatives welcomed the gesture as a sign of support for their push for international recognition and renewed efforts to bring the Israeli-Palestinian issue back to the forefront of the global agenda.
The incident underscored the deep divisions and entrenched positions that continue to define the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with both sides facing significant challenges in finding common ground for meaningful dialogue and reconciliation. As international support for the Palestinian cause grows, the pressure on Israel to engage in substantive negotiations is likely to increase, setting the stage for further diplomatic confrontations at the UN and beyond.
