Philippine delegates walk out of the UN General Assembly hall during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech on Friday, Sept. 25, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) confirms.
Both reports state that the walkout happens while Netanyahu is already on the stage to deliver his address. GMA News Online reports the DFA confirmation in Filipino, describing that Philippine delegates join other delegates who leave the hall during the speech. Philstar.com similarly notes that the DFA links the Philippines to the coordinated walkout by delegates opposing or protesting the speech.
Across the two outlets, the core details remain the same: the event takes place at the UN General Assembly, it involves Netanyahu’s remarks, and the DFA says Philippine representatives participate in the departure. The reports do not provide additional specifics on the reasons for the protest or the identities of individual Philippine delegates.
