Dozens of UN delegates walked out of the General Assembly hall as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began his address, in a dramatic scene at the United Nations. Netanyahu used the speech to defend Israel’s military actions and sharply criticize Iran and other opponents, while rejecting accusations against Israel.
