During the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel would continue its campaign until Hamas is "completely eliminated." His remarks triggered strong reactions across the hall.
In a powerful gesture, the Iranian delegation placed photos of Palestinian children killed in recent airstrikes on their desks. The images transformed the assembly into a solemn, silent memorial 🕊️, reminding everyone of the human cost behind political statements.
As Netanyahu spoke, delegations from Iran, Turkey, several Arab nations, and African countries walked out in protest. The walkouts highlighted deep frustrations over civilian casualties and the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
This bold move echoes the rising tide of digital activism among young people from Mumbai to Manila, where #SaveGaza trends on social platforms. It shows how creative and visual protests can turn heads and spark global conversations.
Whether you follow UN debates or scroll through social feeds, moments like this prove that images can speak louder than words. What do you think about this silent memorial in the heart of global diplomacy?
