A crowd gathered outside the BBC’s Broadcasting House in Belfast today, in solidarity with Palestine.
It comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where he strongly condemned the idea of recognizing a Palestinian state.

He called such recognition “utter madness” and “insanity,” and criticized countries that have acknowledged Palestinian statehood, describing their actions as “shameful.”
As Netanyahu began his address, dozens of delegates exited the hall in protest, although some attendees responded with applause.
He mentioned that his speech was being broadcast via loudspeakers into Gaza and took a moment to speak directly to the hostages held by Hamas, assuring them: “You are not forgotten, not for a moment. All of Israel stands with you.”

His appearance at the UN comes amid reports that former U.S. President Donald Trump has opposed any move by Israel to annex the West Bank, ahead of a scheduled meeting with Netanyahu on Monday.
Meanwhile, international calls for Israel to end its military occupation of the West Bank continue to grow.
