The Turkish delegation, along with many others, walked out of the United Nations General Assembly on Friday to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech.

Netanyahu entered the hall and approached the platform to address the 79th session of the Assembly.

The group, led by Turkey's permanent representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Ahmet Yildiz, exited the hall before Netanyahu's speech began.

Many other delegations were observed following Turkey's representatives' protest and walking out of the hall.

Critics have questioned Netanyahu's UN speech, for which International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan is pursuing an arrest warrant for alleged "war crimes."
