Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived in New York to address the UN General Assembly as protests erupted outside his hotel, with pro-Palestinian demonstrators chanting against him. As he prepared for a critical speech, multiple explosions were reported near Beirut, further escalating tensions in the region. In his address, Netanyahu vehemently defended Israel's actions against Hezbollah and Hamas, labeling criticism as antisemitic and chastising the UN for its perceived bias. Despite walkouts from various delegations, including a notable Turkish protest, Netanyahu vowed to continue military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, articulating a vision for peace linked to Saudi Arabia. He warned Iran of severe consequences should they strike Israel, stating that no place in Iran is beyond Israel's reach. With protests intensifying in NYC, including calls for his arrest, Netanyahu's UN appearance has drawn sharp reactions globally amidst fears of a wider Middle Eastern conflict.
