Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

In his speech, Netanyahu criticised the UK and France’s decision to recognise a Palestinian state, calling the move “sheer madness” adding that recognition by several other countries is “disgraceful”.

Directly addressing the hostages being held by Hamas, he said “we have not forgotten you – not even for a second… the people of Israel are with you”.

As he took to the stage, dozens of people filed out of the room in protest, while others applauded.

Netanyahu also said loudspeakers in Israel were broadcasting the speech into Gaza.
