Netanyahu at UN: Shows Pager, Warns Hezbollah, Defends Israel

Speaking at the United Nations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Iran's nuclear program, stating that striking its nuclear infrastructure was a difficult but necessary decision to prevent global annihilation. He asserted that by defending itself, Israel also protects nations whose representatives have left the hall, calling their leaders' private acknowledgments of this 'crazy hypocrisy.'

Netanyahu detailed recent combat events, highlighting operational achievements and issuing warnings to regional actors. He described Hamas terrorists' brutal attack, moving house-to-house and shooting Israeli civilians at point-blank range. He also directly addressed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, reminding him of the Jewish people's historical connection to the Golan Heights.

During a review of security achievements, Netanyahu held up a pager on the UN stage, asking the audience if they remembered them, and adding, "Hezbollah certainly remembers them." He concluded this section by emphasizing Israel's determination to achieve victory, stating, "We are going to win. We have no other choice."

Further addressing international criticism, Netanyahu rejected accusations against Israel, citing the strategic alliance with the United States under President Donald Trump as crucial for defending Western values. He accused Qatar of massive funding for campaigns to influence international public opinion and the younger generation in the West. He also condemned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, calling him a 'dictator' and accusing him of expansionist ambitions.

Netanyahu labeled accusations against Israel as the 'lie of the century,' noting Israel's extensive efforts to supply food and provisions. He directly addressed the mayor of a city, rejecting attempts to silence him and clarifying that the Jewish community's sense of security had been harmed. Netanyahu concluded with a firm declaration: "You cannot silence me and the truth, Israel did not commit genocide, Israel prevented genocide!"
