Netanyahu criticizes U.N. and justifies Israel’s actions in Gaza and Lebanon

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel defiantly faced the international community at the United Nations General Assembly in New York amidst criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza and Lebanon. He accused the U.N. of bias against Israel and defended his country’s actions in the conflict, vowing to fight until total victory is achieved. Netanyahu condemned Iran and its proxies, warning of retaliation if Israel is attacked. The U.N. has passed numerous resolutions against Israel, sparking protests and calls for Netanyahu’s arrest as a war criminal. The conflict has caused thousands of casualties and displacements in both Lebanon and Israel. The U.N. has condemned Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, with various agencies issuing non-binding resolutions against Israel. The International Court of Justice has also ruled against Israel in several cases. Netanyahu has accused the U.N. of anti-Israel bias and has not responded to calls from the U.N. Secretary-General. The conflict has caused widespread devastation and displacement in the region, with ongoing violence and violations of Security Council resolutions. In Israel, families of hostages urge Netanyahu to prioritize their release in any ceasefire negotiations.
