Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. He said that he did not want to give a speech at UNGA this time. But the lies being spread about Israel forced him to present his country's side.
Netanyahu said Israel wants peace. We have brought peace and will continue to do so. When I addressed this assembly last year, we were about to make a historic deal with Saudi Arabia. But Hamas attacked and stopped this deal.
The Israeli PM said, “The last time I showed a map, this map shows Israel and its Arab allies. They connect Asia to Europe, the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. In this area, we have rail lines, energy lines and fiber. Optic lines would have been laid which would have benefited 200 crore people.
Now look at this second map, this is the terror map. Holding both maps in his hand, Netanyahu said – On one side there is hope for the future and on the other side is the darkness of the future. After this, the Israeli PM called Iraq, Syria and Iran a curse for the region.
Netanyahu showed countries in 2 maps that were a boon and a curse for the Middle East and Africa.
Netanyahu said – I will deal with Saudi Arabia The peace agreement between Saudi and Israel is very important. Trade and tourism between the two countries have increased. A peace agreement between the two countries will change the entire Middle East. Iran is preventing this from happening.
As Prime Minister of Israel, I will sign a peace agreement with Saudi Arabia. No representatives of Saudi Arabia and Iran were present at the UN General Assembly during Netanyahu's speech.
10 Big Things About Netanyahu's Address…
- There is no place in Iran that we cannot reach. I will say to the dictators of Tehran – if you attack us, we will definitely respond.
- We will not hand over Gaza to Hamas after the war. Otherwise, it would be like if the Nazis were allowed to rule after World War II.
- We cannot let another October 7 happen. We have eliminated 23 out of 24 Hamas battalions.
- Hamas burned children alive and raped women. Chopped off people's heads, killed families. Hamas took 250 hostages.
- Hezbollah fires rockets at us from schools, hospitals, kitchens. Hezbollah turned part of Israel into a ghost town.
- If this is done with San Diego, how long will the American government tolerate it? I am certain that this will not be tolerated at all.
- This is the first time since the bin Laden attack that so many US and French citizens have been killed by Hamas.
- We have killed all the senior commanders of Hezbollah. After that, people who came in their place were also beaten up. After that he was also replaced.
- We have destroyed Hezbollah's rockets which it built with the help of Iran. The attacks will continue until our objective is achieved.
Mahmoud Abbas said in UNGA that America has allowed Israel to commit crimes on Gaza.
'Israel's madness must end' Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas also addressed the UNGA on September 26. Criticizing America's support for Israel, he said, “This madness must end.” The whole world is responsible for what is happening to our people.
Abbas said the death toll in Gaza continues to rise. Yet America continues to provide Israel with diplomatic aid and arms. America has allowed Israel to commit crimes in Gaza by continuously vetoing cease-fire resolutions in the UNSC.
Hezbollah-Israel conflict for 10 days Hezbollah and Israel have been fighting for the past 10 days amid a years-long war with Hamas. Indeed, there was a pager attack in Lebanon on September 17. Just a day later, the walkie-talkies and solar power systems exploded. Hezbollah and Lebanon blamed Israel for the attack.
After this there was a conflict between the two countries. Israel has been launching missile attacks in Lebanon for the past 7 days. According to an Al Jazeera report, more than 620 Lebanese have been killed in these attacks. Apart from this, more than 5 lakh people have had to leave their homes. Israel has dubbed the operation in Lebanon “Northern Arrows”.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched its largest attack on Lebanon on September 23. The IDF carried out airstrikes targeting 1,600 Hezbollah positions. It was claimed that 10 thousand rockets were destroyed. 569 people were killed in this attack.
