@w32.netsky.9: United Nations conference marked by a 'table-banging' protest during the speech of an Israeli diplomat. The atmosphere at the International Labour Organization conference was disrupted when Israeli diplomat Waleed Gadban attempted to deliver his speech. The protest by several attendees caused the speech to be interrupted and unable to be completed. Ministers from several countries, along with representatives of trade unions, workers, and employers, simultaneously banged on the table as a form of protest while the Israeli official was speaking. The moment drew global attention and added to the growing list of diplomatic tensions at international forums amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
