DEMO Delegates leave the UN general assembly yesterday

BENJAMIN Netanyahu faced a UN walkout yesterday over Gaza, before he said Israel must finish the job against Hamas.

The Israeli PM, subject to an international arrest warrant, also branded recognition of Palestinian statehood “disgraceful”.

Netanyahu was embarrassed after dozens of delegates walked out of the UN general assembly hall in New York.

“Western leaders may have buckled under the pressure,” Netanyahu said during a defiant speech. “And I guarantee you one thing - Israel won't.”
