Dozens have walked out as Netanyahu gave a U.N. speech. I hope our representative did.
He's none too pleased that countries have recognised Palestine as a result of the war in Gaza.

He claims that most Israelis support the war, despite massive demonstrations to the contrary & also claims to have hacked the smart phones of Hamas leaders & broadcast his speech to them, as well as military trucks near the border with loud speakers also broadcasting it.

He told the UN that Israel 'must finish the job' in Gaza.
He's facing an International criminal court arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza & had to deliver his speech to an almost empty area because most delegates left in protest as he headed to the stage.

I'm not surprised at this in light of the amount of delaying and dithering we've seen coming from our government. While I can see how Winston has justified thin I can't help but feel that our government has wimped out big time by not using this as a demonstration of our extreme displeasure with Israel's ongoing genocidal campaign against the co-inhabitants of their region. Yet another case of NZ's policy being dictated by the junior coalition partners as spineless Luxon sits back and lets them do whatever TF they want.
