Kuwaiti Journalist Defends Netanyahu Against UN Walkout

Kuwaiti journalist and political dissident Jasem Aljuraid has defended Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following a walkout by dozens of delegates during Netanyahu's speech at the UN General Assembly. Aljuraid, known for his criticism of radical Islam and Iranian influence, as well as his support for normalization with Israel, took to social media to condemn the protest.

"None of these cowards walked out during the Iranian regime's speech, but they staged a protest against the Prime Minister of Israel, against a country that acts to eliminate terrorists," Aljuraid wrote. He characterized the walkout as a demonstration of the world's "corrupt moral landscape."

The incident occurred as Netanyahu began his address. Aljuraid's statement expressed solidarity with Israel, concluding with "With Israel alive."
