Nations Walk Out During Israeli President's Speech in Baku; Qatar's Emir Stays
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Representatives from Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, and the Palestinian Authority walked out during Israeli President Isaac Herzog's speech at a Baku conference. Iranian media claimed Qatar's delegation also left, but eyewitnesses stated Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani remained seated. Analysts suggest Iran may be using the discrepancy to portray Qatar as more anti-Israel than it is, aiding Iran's own diplomatic positioning. Herzog also met with Azerbaijani and Bahraini officials during his visit.
