  "summary": "Dozens of delegates walked out of the United Nations General Assembly hall as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began his speech. The walkout was a protest against Netanyahu's address. According to the New Straits Times, the Palestinian delegation had called for other missions to join their act of protest.\n\nThe hall was sparsely filled earlier in the session but gradually filled up before Netanyahu's speech. As delegates walked out, Netanyahu's own team stood and applauded, while the speaker of the session shouted for order. Netanyahu said, \"If there are any other moral cowards who haven't left this hall, please do so now.\"\n\nSome countries, including Malaysia and Indonesia, were among the nations that protested Netanyahu's address, although The New Straits Times and other outlets did not provide a full list of countries that walked out. Somalia's President Mohamed Hassan Sheikh Mohamud expressed concerns about the economic and humanitarian consequences of the US-Israeli war on Iran.",
