Netanyahu to Address UN, Expected to Reveal New Iran Nuclear Intel

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to deliver his address at the United Nations General Assembly, with his office indicating he may unveil new information, potentially with visual aids, regarding Iran's nuclear and missile programs. The speech comes amidst a backdrop of sharp international criticism directed at Israel.

Earlier in the day, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas addressed the UN, delivering a strong condemnation of Israel. He described the Palestinian people as facing a "war of mass extermination" in Gaza, detailing extensive destruction of infrastructure and a severe humanitarian crisis. Abbas also spoke of decades of historical injustice, displacement, occupation, and the denial of self-determination.

The UN General Assembly has recently become a platform for intense criticism of Israel, with leaders from various nations denouncing the country with terms such as "apartheid regime" and "genocide."

French President Emmanuel Macron described the dire situation in Gaza as "a spectacle that shames us all" and condemned Israeli actions in the West Bank. He also made the disputed claim that Hamas has "never been active in the West Bank," drawing a sharp response from Israel.

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham condemned the October 7th attacks and Hamas but stated this does not justify Israeli actions in Gaza or the West Bank, citing the high death toll, including many children, insufficient humanitarian aid, and prolonged suffering.
