A crowd gathered outside the BBC\u2019s Broadcasting House in Belfast today, in solidarity with Palestine.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

He called such recognition \u201cutter madness\u201d and \u201cinsanity,\u201d and criticized countries that have acknowledged Palestinian statehood, describing their actions as \u201cshameful.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Netanyahu began his address, dozens of delegates exited the hall in protest, although some attendees responded with applause.<\/p>\n

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: \u201cYou are not forgotten, not for a moment. All of Israel stands with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, international calls for Israel to end its military occupation of the West Bank continue to grow.<\/p>\n
