During the CICA summit held in Baku, Azerbaijan, a coordinated walkout occurred as Israeli President Isaac Herzog began his address. Delegates from over ten countries, including Turkey, left the room in a protest action. While the report confirms the walkout took place, it does not detail the specific motivations provided by every participating delegation, focusing primarily on the event itself and the subsequent diplomatic fallout.

Following the speech, Iran’s deputy legal affairs minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, issued a formal statement calling for Israel to be expelled from the CICA organization. According to reports from IRIB news, Gharibabadi argued that the presence of Israel was incompatible with the summit's goal of achieving "sustainable security" in Asia. The report notes the walkout and the Iranian demand for expulsion as the primary developments of the summit session. There is no mention of a response from the Israeli delegation or the summit organizers regarding the protest or the calls for expulsion.
