Netanyahu Defiantly Addresses UN Amid Ongoing Military Strikes
In a defiant speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel is 'winning' in its ongoing conflicts with Hezbollah and Hamas. Despite calls for a cease-fire from multiple countries, Netanyahu stated that Israel will continue its military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, emphasizing that 'enough is enough' regarding Hezbollah's aggression. During his address, Netanyahu held maps of the region, presenting his perspective of Israel's territorial claims while expressing his disdain for protests against his policies. His speech was met with significant backlash, including mass walkouts from various delegates. Netanyahu also warned Iran of Israel's capabilities to strike anywhere should they escalate their actions. This speech comes amidst heightened tensions in the region and ongoing strikes near Beirut, where the Israeli military recently targeted Hezbollah launch sites.
