Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a combative address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, criticising Iran, Turkey and several Western governments while defending Israel’s military operations. Dozens of diplomats walked out during the speech as Netanyahu accused critics of abandoning Israel and strongly rejected international criticism of his government.
Netanyahu described Iran’s government as a threat to Israel and defended the continuing military campaign involving Israel and the United States against Tehran. He also criticised Britain and France over their policies towards Israel and attacked Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, while maintaining that Israel’s actions were necessary for its security.
The address came amid continuing regional conflicts, international criticism over Israel’s conduct in Gaza and Netanyahu’s campaign ahead of Israel’s October 27 election. Protests were also held near the UN headquarters during his appearance.
