Netanyahu Addresses UN General Assembly Amidst Protests and International Isolation
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech on Tuesday before the annual United Nations General Assembly in New York. The address took place against a backdrop of what the report describes as Israel's "historic isolation" and the ongoing conflict with Iran, which could reignite at any moment.
As Netanyahu began his speech, dozens of international representatives reportedly staged a coordinated protest, walking out of the hall and shouting jeers. The report anticipated provocations during the highly publicized address.
During his remarks, Netanyahu recounted a past decision to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities, calling it "one of the easiest decisions" he made as prime minister, stating, "because if we hadn't done it, we would have died." He also claimed that "quite a few of those leaders of the representatives who left" had privately thanked him for Israel's actions in Iran.
Earlier, upon his arrival in New York, Netanyahu was reportedly asked how it felt "to be in the house of lies," to which he responded, "If there are a few more cowards who haven't left yet, do it now, thank you very much."
