Netanyahu Departs for UN General Assembly in New York
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed early Thursday for New York to address the United Nations General Assembly. He did not make a statement before his departure with his entourage.
During his speech, Netanyahu is expected to address several key issues, including Israel's achievements during the ongoing conflict, French President Emmanuel Macron's assertion that Hamas is not active in Judea and Samaria, and the recent attack on Route 443 where Neria Laiter, son of Israel's ambassador to the United States, was injured.
In a video released before his flight, Netanyahu stated, "I am leaving tonight for New York to defend the State of Israel and the IDF soldiers on the UN stage. You hear the terrible things being spread there and elsewhere in the world. I will fight against the lies. I will fight for the truth of our soldiers, for our country. Yes, and there will be surprises."
Macron's comments regarding Hamas's activity in Judea and Samaria have drawn criticism, particularly in light of the recent attack on Route 443. The prime minister's trip aims to counter what he described as 'lies' and to advocate for Israel's narrative on the international stage.
