Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a fiery speech at the United Nations, promising to ‘finish the job’ in Gaza. His remarks drew significant attention and led to several delegates walking out of the assembly in protest. Netanyahu strongly criticized the recent recognition of a Palestinian state by countries like the UK and France, calling such moves ‘insane‘.
Netanyahu’s Strong Stance at the UN
Netanyahu addressed the assembly with a clear message: Israel will not back down in Gaza. He emphasized Israel’s right to defend itself and rejected international pressure to halt military operations. The Israeli leader stated that calls for a Palestinian state reward terrorism and undermine peace efforts.
International Response and Walkouts
Several delegates left the chamber during Netanyahu’s address, signaling growing international discontent with Israel’s actions in Gaza. The walkouts highlighted the deep divisions within the global community over the ongoing conflict. Despite mounting criticism, Netanyahu remained unwavering in his commitment to Israel’s military objectives.
