It is unknown whether there had been prior consultation among the diplomats to carry out this protest action, which brought together about a hundred delegates. In anticipation of this happening, dozens of Israelis and Jews – recognizable by the men’s kippahs and the yellow ribbons of solidarity with the hostages – had taken their seats in the balconies of the General Assembly, where they tried to counter the diplomatic protest with applause and shouts of encouragement to Netanyahu.
