Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a strong speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, defending Israel's military actions amid international criticism.
Netanyahu faced significant political tension as many diplomatic delegations, especially from Arab and Islamic nations, staged a mass walkout in protest as he began his speech.
He addressed the audience by challenging any remaining protesters to leave, expressing his commitment to Israel's sovereignty and security.
The speech centered on Israel’s national security, rejecting calls for recognition of a Palestinian state and criticizing Western countries for pressuring Israel.
He emphasized the Israeli military's successes against threats from Hamas and Iran, framing the conflict as vital for the defense of democracies against extremism.
Netanyahu expressed gratitude for support from allies, particularly the United States and former President Donald Trump’s initiatives.
He insisted that Israel would take independent actions when necessary to ensure the safety of its citizens.
Overall, Netanyahu's address highlighted Israel's resolve to continue its military operations and assert its sovereignty in the face of global criticism and protest.
