Netanyahu to address UN as pressure mounts over Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had the chance to return to the largest platform of the international community.
Netanyahu’s annual speech to the UN General Assembly is always closely monitored, usually protested, reliably a place for empathic and sometimes dramatic claims.
But this time on Friday, bets for the Israeli leader are higher than ever.
Recently, Australia, Canada, France, the United Kingdom and others have announced that they know an independent Palestinian state.
The European Union is thinking of tariffs and sanctions against Israel.
The Assembly passed a non -binding decision that called Israel to commit to an independent Palestinian nation, which Netanyahu said that it was out of the beginning.
The International Criminal Court issued a arrest warrant that accused Netanyahu of crimes against humanity.
And the UN’s highest court weighs the claim that South Africa’s genocide in Gaza and violently refuted Israel.
Against this background, Netanyahu came to the samveute on Thursday, riding a plane in Israel to chair the UN’s best leaders in New York.
“I will say our truth,” Netanyahu said. “I will condemn the leaders who want to give them a state in the heart of Israel instead of condemning children’s killers, rapists and burners.”
This week in a special session of the Assembly, Nation Nation, Israel, about 1200 people who killed Hamas militants in the 2023 attack was horrified, 251’in hostage and triggered the war.
Most representatives continued to call for a cease -fire and aid flow in Gaza.
Israel’s sweeping attack killed more than 65,000 Palestinians in Gaza and has displaced 90 percent of its population, and an increasing number has now opened.
While more than 150 countries are currently recognizing a Palestinian state, the US did not know by providing voice support to Israel.
However, on Thursday, President Donald Trump pointed out that there were borders, saying that journalists would not allow Israel to add the occupied West Bank.
Israel did not explain such a move, but a few leading members in the Netanyahu government defended it.
Trump and Netanyahu are scheduled to meet during his visit.
Netanyahu received the Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas, who addressed the general assembly through video, as the US rejected the visa on Thursday.
He welcomed the recognition announcements, but said the world should do more for the realization of the state.
Authorized, “the international community is time to do the right by the Palestinian people” and “to get rid of the occupation and not to remain hostage to the temperament of Israeli policy to realize their legitimate rights.
Abbas is leading the internationally accepted Palestinian authority that rules the parts of the West Bank.
The following year, Hamas won legislative elections in Gaza in 2006 before he seized control from Abbas’s forces.
In the 1967 Middle East War, Israel seized the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, and then withdrew from Gaza in 2005.
The Palestinians want to form the envisaged states of three regions, which are part of a “two -state solution”, which the international community has adopted for decades.
Netanyahu firmly opposes, claiming that creating the Palestinian state will reward Hamas.
“This won’t happen,” he said at the airport on Thursday.
