Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded his visit to the United States early today, following his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. His speech focused on Israel's resilience against what he termed the "regional axis of terror." Netanyahu highlighted Israel's ability to fight on seven fronts for three years, listing Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iran, and militias in Iraq, Syria, and the West Bank as adversaries aiming for Israel's annihilation.
He asserted that despite these efforts, Israel had not collapsed but instead delivered "crushing blows" to its enemies. During his speech, Netanyahu faced boos and walkouts from some delegations. In Israel, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett criticized Netanyahu for not designating Qatar as an "enemy state" during his address, calling it a missed "historic opportunity" to expose Qatar's alleged involvement in the October 7th events.
Qatar vehemently denied Netanyahu's accusations, characterizing them as part of a campaign to sway public opinion against Israel. Turkey also rejected Netanyahu's claims, stating they lacked basis and contradicted the principles of peace and dialogue represented by the UN. Netanyahu had previously accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of harboring Hamas leaders.
