Cuba Walks Out On Trump, Israel On Erdogan: Why UN Walkouts Happen | FP Explains

On the first day of the 81st UN General Assembly debate, delegation from Cuba walked out of US President Donald Trump's speech, and Israel's delegation left midway through Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's address. Last year, dozens of diplomats walked out as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the podium.

So why do countries walk out of UN speeches, when did the practice begin, and does an empty seat actually signal anything?
