Rwanda does not appear among the countries that Israel identified as having walked out or whose representatives were not in the room when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly.

Footage released showed numerous delegates leaving the chamber when Netanyahu took the podium, while others remained to listen to his speech.

Netanyahu himself began his address by saying that those who did not want to hear him could leave, before continuing with his message.

Other footage also showed an Israeli delegate counting the people who were not in the chamber during Netanyahu’s speech.

They included African countries such as South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Angola, Senegal, Sudan, Algeria, Niger, Chad, Mozambique, and others.

Rwanda, however, does not appear on that list.

Representatives of numerous countries left, while others remained in the chamber as the Israeli delegation continued to support Netanyahu and applaud.
