How Netanyahu’s UN speech unfolded

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has labelled the recognition of a Palestinian State as a “mark of shame” during a combative speech at the UN General Assembly in New York.

Dozens of officials and diplomats staged a walk-out as he took to the podium, leaving large parts of the conference hall empty.

Protesters also took to the streets of New York brandishing “Free Palestine” signs.

Footage showed Netanyahu’s speech being blasted on speakers on the Israel-Gaza border.

Israel has come under huge international pressure over its military action in Gaza, culminating in the UK, France, Canada, Australia and other countries recognising the State of Palestine this week.
