Canada Stays Seated as Delegates Walk Out During Netanyahu’s UN Speech

                                Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to the United Nations General Assembly.

At the United Nations General Assembly in New York, dozens of diplomats staged a mass walkout during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address. The protest came as Netanyahu condemned countries that recently recognized Palestinian statehood, calling such moves “disgraceful” and a reward for terrorism.

While delegations from many developing nations and some Western allies left the chamber, Canada chose not to participate. Ambassador Bob Rae remained seated throughout the speech, even as the presiding official repeatedly called for order amid the disruption.

Netanyahu’s remarks focused heavily on hostages held by Hamas, threats from Iran, and his rejection of international recognition of Palestinian statehood. His speech was met with heckling from at least one attendee, underscoring the tense atmosphere.

Canada’s decision to stay in the chamber highlights its nuanced diplomatic stance: while Ottawa has joined allies in recognizing a Palestinian state, it opted against the symbolic protest of walking out during Netanyahu’s address.
