UNGA 79: Maldives among countries to walk out during Netanyahu's speech

Maldives, among many other countries, walked out from the floor yesterday when Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu walked into the venue to deliver his speech at the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 79).

In post on X (formerly Twitter), President's Office Spokesperson Heena Waleed said Maldives' delegation left the floor when "Israel's tyrannical Prime Minister" began his speech in respect of President Dr Mohamed Muizzu's special consideration for Palestine and his efforts towards the Palestinian cause.
