Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel's military actions at the UN General Assembly on Friday, calling delegates who walked out of his speech "moral cowards."
Several delegates left the hall before Netanyahu began speaking. The walkout reflects growing international criticism of Israel's military campaign.
Netanyahu used his address to justify Israel's actions and reject calls for restraint. He did not soften his position despite the empty seats before him.
