Gaza City, Palestinian Territories: Hamas said a mass walkout of delegations before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the United Nations on Friday showed Israel's "isolation" as a result of the Gaza war.
"Boycotting Netanyahu's speech is one manifestation of Israel's isolation and the consequences of the war of extermination," Taher al-Nunu, the media adviser to the head of Hamas's political bureau, said in a statement.
As Netanyahu walked up to the General Assembly rostrum, a number of delegations walked out -- in a deliberate protest as the Israeli premier was the day's first speaker.
But the room was filled with applause from the public gallery as Netanyahu had again invited supporters to watch.
