Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly despite an outstanding ICC arrest warrant, defending his government's military actions in Gaza and calling delegates who walked out of his speech 'moral cowards.' Numerous delegations left the chamber before he spoke, and rights groups criticized the UN for hosting him, contrasting his treatment with that of Palestinian representatives. In New York, more than 100 people were arrested as demonstrators, including celebrities such as Susan Sarandon, blocked streets and marched toward UN headquarters to protest Netanyahu's visit. The protests and diplomatic walkouts underscore deepening international divisions over Israel's conduct of the war and its leader's legal status.
