Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked the recognition of a Palestinian state from many Western countries during a combat speech at the UN General Assembly.

Netanyahu labeling the recognition, moves a “brand of shame”, which sent the message “The murder of Jews pays off.”

Dozens of officials and diplomats organized a walk as he got on the podium, leaving large parts of the conference empty. Outside, protesters against the Israeli war in Gaza gathered at Times Square.

Israel has been subjected to huge international pressure on its military action in Gaza, culminating in the UK, France, Canada, Australia and other countries Recognition of Palestine’s status This week.

In his initial remarks, Netanyahu showed a map designated as the “curse” This was said that they showed Iranian proxy groups in the Middle East. He then pointed out the Israeli military operations in the last year against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hutis in Yemen, Hamas in Gaza and Iran.

He thanked US President Donald Trump for the participation of US participation in the bombing of Iran’s Fordo nuclear object in June and attracted parallels between the Hamas attack October 7, 2023 against Israel and the September 11 attack against the United States. He said the two countries were fighting the same enemies, pointing to the “death in America” ​​from Iran -related groups.

The Israeli prime minister reiterated that Israel would not allow the Palestinian state to exist and said that this position was supported by the vast majority of the Israelis.

He continued to disprove the conclusion of the UN inquiry committee Israel has performed a genocide in gasIn claiming the prosecution was “unfounded”.

He also rejected statements from numerous UN agencies that Israel deliberately limited the amount of assistance entering Gaza. In August, a The united body confirmed that hunger was held in Gaza.

Prior to his speech, Netanyahu’s office ordered Israeli military speakers on trucks near the Gaza perimeter fence to broadcast his words live through the territory.

Netanyahu also claims that Israeli intelligence has hacked the smartphones of people in Gaza and will tell them their speech directly. BBC sources in Gaza said their phones were not affected.

He said the intention of this was for a message to reach Israeli hostages there.

“Our brave characters,” he read on the podium. “This is the Prime Minister Netanyahu, who speaks to you live from the United Nations. We have not forgotten you, even for a second. The Israel people are with you. We will not be ignited and we will not rest until we bring all of you home.”

There are 48 hostages left in Gaza, 20 of which are thought to be alive.

Gaza’s resident Fadi told the BBC World Service Program: “What does she win by broadcasting her speech forcibly on the besieged civilians in the tents, except to humiliate them further?”

Netanyahu dedicated the last section of his address to Israel’s regional neighbors, saying he was close to an agreement on de -escalation with Syria and calling on the Lebanese government to strengthen his efforts to disarm Hezbollah.

He immediately firmed in Israel, with opposition leader Jair Lapid writes: “Today I saw a tired and whimper Israeli Prime Minister in a speech overloaded with overly used tricks”

“Instead of stopping the diplomatic tsunami – Netanyahu today worsened the state of the State of Israel,” he wrote to X.

Jair Golan, the leader of the Democrats of Israel, said the speech shows “only a sacrifice, a holyness and complete blindness to the suffering of the hostages and the victim of the fighters.”

He marked the stuntman of the speaker “Invalid, Child and Crazy”, saying it was a “propaganda show”.

A day earlier Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said in his speech to the General Assembly that he was ready to work with the world leaders of Apply a peace plan For Israel and the Palestinians.

Shortly after Netanyahu finished talking, Donald Trump said separately to the journalists, “I think we have a gas deal.” He did not provide further details, although speculation has increased that the fire termination deal may be close.

International journalists were banned from Israel from entering the Gaza Strip, despite the beginning of the war nearly two years ago, making it difficult to check the allegations from both sides. Some journalists have been taken in Gaza from IDF under controlled access.

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to an attack led by Hamas against southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 others were hostage.
