Evening Edition: The Politics Behind UN Delegates Walking Out on Netanyahu Sep 26, 2026

Show notes

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a defiant speech at the UN Thursday calling allegations of Israeli genocide in Gaza false and the “biggest lie of the century.” Dozens of delegates walked out of the hall as Netanyahu began to speak, including many Arab countries, but the ones that stayed - United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco - have normalized relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords. The mass exit stood in stark contrast to the delegates' applause for Palestine Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with EJ Kimball, the director of policy and strategic operations for the U.S. Israel Education Association, who says the walkout was political theater for radicalized countries who can't admit Israel is a force for peace in the region, and the White House should continue to push other regional and Muslim-majority countries to join the Accords.
