Netanyahu walked into the United Nations expecting a global audience—and instead got rows of empty seats.
As he took the podium, diplomats from more than 50 countries walked out. An Israeli tally later counted 77 delegations left the chamber when he entered to speak.
Nothing says “greatest ally” quite like delivering a speech to a half-empty room.
Whatever Netanyahu came to say, a significant number of governments had already decided they had no interest in hearing it.
I love that for him.
The depth of Israel's international isolation is difficult to fathom if you're just watching mainstream media.
But these images do not lie. Look at all these delegates leaving the General Assembly in protest as soon as Netanyahu takes the podium... https://t.co/Ul7j6UVgkS
