About 200 people gathered at the call of Jewish Voice for Peace, chanting "Stop arming Israel" and "Let Gaza live" and demanding an end to U.S. military support for Israel. Several demonstrators were detained after blocking traffic. Inside the General Assembly, dozens of delegates left the chamber at the start of Benjamin Netanyahu's speech. The Israeli prime minister called them "moral cowards" and asked the protesters and the departing representatives: "Where were you when the Iranian tyrants were massacring and maiming tens of thousands of Iranian civilians?" He then lashed out at his opponents and several Western countries, including the United Kingdom and France, which he accused of denouncing Israeli "colonialism" despite their own colonial past.
